Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, pledged to hire all honorably discharged U.S. veterans and buy an additional $50 billion in U.S. products in the coming decade.
The initiative to offer jobs to veterans within a year of leaving active duty may result in about 100,000 hires in the next five years, Bentonville, Arkansas-based Wal-Mart said today in a statement. About two-thirds of Wal-Mart’s products are made, sourced or grown in the U.S., the company said.
