Recession-proof no more? Wal-Mart is cutting 800 jobs at its Arkansas (Bill Clinton!) headquarters. Mainly, the cuts are in the departments responsible for building new stores - as only 125 - 135 are planned for 2009, a 20% - 25% drop from 2008.
At the same time, I guess they'll add a lot more folks when these new stores do get built. So at worst, this is a bit of a re-alignment.
