The discount retailer has 100,164 employed Mexicans in its Mexico stores while applying the same employment policies that include lower retail wages and no labor unions for employees. Wal-Mart's cut-throat strategies are welcomed in a country with a struggling economy because of the number of new jobs it creates annually.
