Wal-Mart China plans to add 150,000 new recruits by 2010

Joe Hatfield, CEO of Wal-Mart Asian Region made an announcement during an interview on Mar. 20 that Wal-Mart plans to expand its business by offering some 150,000 employment opportunities here in China in the coming five years. It is reported that the new recruits are five times more than the current member of Chinese employees working with Wal-Mart.

However, an insider noted that it is impossible for Wal-Mart to recruit 150,000 members in five years. According to its official statistics, Wal-Wart opens some 60 new franchise stores annually, which is quite difficult to be carried out in China.
