Interesting

I loved how Betsy ended this post on Wal-Mart:
But, go back to that original statistic: "25,000 applications for 325 positions" [at the new Wal-Mart in Evergreen Park, Illinois]. That means that only 1.3% of the applicants will get jobs. Applicants have a better chance of getting into Harvard (10.3% admission rate in 2004) or Yale (9.9% admission rate in 2004) than you do of getting a job at this Wal-Mart store. Ponder that.
