Some parts of this article may be correct, however this:

"For anyone who has not been following the Wal-Mart saga, sales have been sinking dramatically at the retailer as the company has turned to hiring mostly temporary workers"

... is simply wrong. Sales (from the '13 annual report):

FY09: $401b | FY10: $405b | FY11: $419b | FY12: $444b | FY13: $466b

Sales are sinking dramatically at the retailer? At best that's ignorance, at worst a sensational lie.



Sales are up around the world. He is referring to U.S. stores that are affected by domestic health care law changes.
