I commented a few days ago about the applicant/job ratio at WM. Here is an excerpt from the "Fairbanks News-Miner" on the subject.

.....However, Fairbanksans seem more than willing to take a Wal-Mart job, which comes with a starting wage of $9 an hour or more, depending on experience and the position.

Erickson said the store received 2,200 applications to fill about 500 positions.

Last week, a Wal-Mart human resources worker sat at a table in the training room with a stack of Alaska driver's licenses, starting employee files while the new hires filled several rows of chairs and watched a video about the company's history.
