Buying Locally: Throughout our operations,
Wal-Mart continues to strengthen local agri-
cultural sourcing programs by buying more
from farmers located close to our stores. By
2011, our China stores expect to buy from
more than one million farmers in that country.
Creating Jobs: Wal-Mart created
approximately 63,000 jobs around the
world in 2008, including more than
33,000 in the United States. We plan
to create tens of thousands more jobs
this year.
Donating to Help Others: Wal-Mart and its
Foundations gave $423 million in cash and
in-kind gifts in the communities we served
last year, an increase of approximately
$86 million from the prior year.
