Home Depot to Hire 2,000 In Chicago (Joe Moore will hate this)

Hey, Home Depot (like Wal-Mart) is an evil "big box" that Alderman Joe Moore would like to crush! But look! Home Depot is about to give THOUSANDS OF JOBS to Chicagoans. Confused? So should supporters of Joe Moore be. Will Joe Moore lead a rally against Home Depot? According to an AP story in Chicago Business today: "The Home Depot Inc. plans to hire about 15,000 new associates during the spring season, including 2,000 in Chicago, the company said Monday. "The push also includes plans to hire 2,500 people in Atlanta and 2,400 in Los Angeles and 2,300 in Washington." "So Where Does This Leave the Big Box Debate?" asks the Chicagoist today, and it's a good question. We'd love to hear Joe Moore's answer. Or Alex Armour. Or Jan Schakowsky. Or any of the others who condemn "big box" stores as inately evil. There will soon be another 2,000 newly employed or better employed Chicagoans who disagree with them.
