Topics: Economic/Small Business
Tom Muller/Beth Humstone. For every $10 million in sales at a typical retail business in Franklin County 106 people are employed, versus 70 people at Wal-Mart. “Due to projected sales losses to existing businesses in Franklin County, there will be up to 500 retail jobs lost over the next ten years. These job will be offset partially by the gain of nearly 300 Wal-Mart jobs over the same time period.”
