Great news for the economy.
 The Department of Labor (DOL) announced 251,000 new jobs were added to the employment rolls of the country in October.
The Department of Labor announced over 250,000 jobs were added in October. The giant retailer Walmart might just deserve a gold star for boosting those numbers. In October Walmart hired its 100,000th Vet probably leaving the country as whole only responsible for 151,000 new jobs. We hope those numbers on both ends are not false positives due to the season we are entering – Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Employers tend to bring on additional workers during the holiday season to help out with the rush of customers anticipated to spend their money on gifts and other entertainment. If these numbers are indeed seasonal statistics, what happens to these great numbers when we put the turkeys back in the freezer and take down the Christmas stockings?  These seasonal workers will still need jobs and maybe just somewhere at Walmart or some other employment site there will be work to be done.
I think we can depend on Walmart to employ Veterans for more than just a season. From every indication, it appears that Walmart is championing the cause of men and women who have served their country as members of the armed forces.
Hiring managers from Walmart were interviewed on local stations around the Washington Metropolitan area on Veterans Day and the entire conversation was about hiring Veterans and honoring them for what they have done for their country. Walmart is investing in the future by opening doors of opportunity for the brave men and women who sacrifice to keep our borders safe.
