As prominent veterans groups and the White House hailed Walmart's announcement Tuesday that it would hire 100,000 veterans over the next five years, economists and other management experts noted the move, while positive, is somewhat symbolic.

"Job turnover at Walmart is such that they ought to easily accommodate any vet looking for work," said Mike Hicks, a Ball State University economist who has studied Walmart's retail impact.

1. Walmart meanwhile picks up a cool $9,600 tax credit per veteran hired.

Then they can lay them off.

5. There's a lot of companies playing this scam ...

WalMart is more visible because they are the biggest + already have notoriety.

2. Yeah...it's a warm, fuzzy move.

We have an overwhelming number of unemployed vets that will jump at the chance for any job, even one at Walmart. Is this what we want? A society full of underpaid, overworked, underappreciated veterans and citizens? Blech.

But, it makes Walmart look 'patriotic' and 'all American'.
