statistics

1.4 million americans work for wal-mart.  NPR tells me that it is the world's largest retailer.

there are 310 million people living in the united states, and the census website tells me that 75.7% of them (235 million) are over 18.  that means that one in every 168 american adults works for wal-mart.  assuming my math is correct.

oh. my. god.

i don't really know what to do with this information.

the last time i was in a wal-mart was probably last christmas.  apparently other people are going more frequently than me.
