Walgreens to add 500 Illinois jobs

"Quinn says the expansion will create good paying jobs, attract more investment and help fuel the state's economic recovery."....So that's why so many are losing pay everywhere else. In other words now in order to get paid decent, one must either work for the government, at a corporate office,or a union?

They already let go 3000 of us, so it's still a net loss...

maybe they can hire back some of those losers they de-wired..haha
