This story brought a smile/smirk to my mouth:

AP: Wal-mart Knew Of Illegal Workers
CNNMoney: 250 Arrested at Wal-mart

My smirk had nothing to do with illegal immigrants being arrested. It was due to numerous off the cuff comments & jokes that my 3rd career might have to be at Wal-mart. Apparently, even the competition for being a Janitor at Wal-mart is fierce and the wages are a "race to the bottom" as they say.

Again, very unscientific sampling, but since n > 30, apparently Outsourcing has become a very popular marketing tag line.
