Wal-Mart gets 25,000 applications for Illinois store

Crain's Chicago Business reports:

The new Wal-Mart Stores Inc. location opening Friday in suburban Evergreen Park received a record 25,000 applications for 325 positions, the highest for any one location in the retailer’s history, a company official says.

Despite the fact the company says these numbers underscore demand for Wal—Mart jobs in the community, critics wonder how many of these positions are lower—paying part—time work.

The only other site that’s come close to the number of applications is a store in Oakland, California that received 11,000 applications for about the same number of positions last year.

Obviously the morons that don't like Wal-Mart can't count.If Wal-Mart is such a bad place to work why would so many people want to work there? It appears Wal-Mart gets more applications than Harvard or Yale combined in this instance.It appears Wal-Mart's critics just don't like capitalism among consenting adults.
