wow!
yes, YOU could have a $9.00 per hour job.
what's sad is come next year, when it's election time, some politician is going to be like "hey, i brought 400+ jobs to town".
Steve, Let good news be good news, c'mon dude!
A lot of people in town would kill for 9 an hour.
Don't you people have enough cheap foriegn made junk?

If that's what they're paying - that's decent along with good benefits, too!
Let's not forget the employee discount!!
Katie, keep in mind that retailers love to hire people part time at first, telling them that they'll be full time in the future. Why? Because they can avoid paying workmen's comp. No bennies either. Then they never hire people full time, so they quit. I built a few Target stores, and I was amazed that the only people getting benefits were the 3 managers for each store. Retail is a filthy business, and if you don't believe me, go apply for a job. You will be amazed.....
$9 an hour is chump change. Now offer $10 and I am there! Stand in line to hope to work 39 hours a week and have no life because what are you going to do with $300 a week after deductions? Besides Walmart will bury these guys too. Welcome to the NEW USA! Rich get richer....poor can eat s...
The joke is, they tell you go to the job fair. But you have to call to get an interview. The phone call tells you that the interview schedule is already full!!!!! And still, they are advertising it!!!!!!!!! VinGin
