I'll bet those are "very early or pre-boom" stats.

Don't recall a Circuit City in Walton...but this blows nonetheless:


Circuit City to Cut More Than 3,500 Jobs

Circuit City to Cut More Than 3,500 Store and IT Jobs, Cut Wages


NEW YORK (AP) -- A new plan for layoffs at Circuit City is openly targeting better-paid workers, risking a public backlash by implying that its wages are as subject to discounts as its flat-screen TVs.

The electronics retailer, facing larger competitors and falling sales, said Wednesday that it would lay off about 3,400 store workers -- immediately -- and replace them with lower-paid new hires as soon as possible.

The laid-off workers, about 8 percent of the company's total work force, would get a severance package and a chance to reapply for their former jobs, at lower pay, after a 10-week delay, the company said.

The news of the layoffs came as a surprise to Rachelle Gouled, who earned about $7.75 an hour working on the sales floor at a Circuit City in Roseville, Minn. She said 10 people were laid off Wednesday at her store.

Circuit City is fairly high up on the list of retailers which suck big time.

Seems like I recall them making a similar list by surveys of consumers.

That trampling sound you hear are Circuit City store managers rushing for the exits. In this environment it sure would suck to be them. (They may find some of their "inventory" disappear along with the lay-off-ees.)
