I disagree with Lee Scott retail jobs are not yet good jobs

I think Lee Scott is still infected from the Wal-Mart Kool-Aid.

"The answer was, of course, one place I would have liked to have done more is helping people understand that Wal-Mart jobs, retail jobs in general, are good jobs," Scott said.

"They pay well and they offer extraordinary opportunities. But the fact is, you just can’t do everything."

Retail jobs are not yet good jobs. If you have worked for Wal-Mart and other retailers in the past ten or even twenty years you’ll know why. Personally I hate retail and sales work but that’s just me. I realize that they can be good jobs for many people if new laws concerning the federal minimum wage and worker organizing are passed.
