Employment outlook

Finally some good economic news last week: Toys-R-Us announced it’s planning on hiring 45K people.

For the holiday season.

At minimum wage and no benefits.

I’m sure that’s welcome news for the 30K people who are about to be axed from Bank of America, who are mostly full-time employees with at least some benefits.

Oh--and no doubt Walmart will also be hiring for the season. And those temps can take comfort in knowing that they won't be paid worse or get fewer benefits than the bulk of Walmart's staff.
