Wal-Mart Giving Workers $933M In Bonuses
Average Employee Bonus Equals $667

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Retail giant Wal-Mart will hand out its largest annual award -- $2 billion -- which includes bonuses to every part-time and full-time hourly employee.

The $2 billion includes 401k contributions, about $1 billion in profit-sharing, millions of dollars in merchandise discounts and $933 million in bonuses. The average cash bonus for employees will be $667.
That probably equates to more than the average "stimulus check". We REALLY need the government to come in and setup labor unions there....
