Wal-Mart to Slash Staff by 800

OK We might not be the brightest guys on the block. But when will the media give it a break?

Everyone quickly reported these job cuts while the market tanked today. Let's put on our thinking hats and apply Bassic Math 101.

800 jobs out of 2,000,000 Wal-Mart employees. That's 4/100 ths of a percent.

Look at it another way. Say your take home pay was $1,000.00 per week. If you applied the same percentage cut 4/100 ths to that take home pay you would be bringing home $999.60

BFD Big Freakin Deal !
