Yeah. Unfortunately, we're in Los Angeles County where unemployment is very high. Where I live was already a very poor place, and it's even worse now. Usually Wal-Mart is the one hiring when others aren't.

Thats what I don't get.Our economy is alot stronger than calis right now and most of the time wal-mart is AWAYS hiring.I think it could be an experiment to see if they can make it through the holidays without hiring seasonal temps so they can increase profits.They are just going to **** alot of coustomers off with a short staffed holiday crew.
