See -“Is Wal-Mart Good for America?”
Tune in June 14: PBS Frontline is rebroadcasting our popular
program on Wal-Mart, which got great ratings and audiences last
fall. 100 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week for “every
day low prices” Some economists say Wal-Mart helps curb inflation
and boosts U.S. productivity. But critics charge that Wal-Mart is
destroying good American jobs by driving production offshore. Correspondent
Hedrick Smith takes you inside China and across America to investigate
Wal-Mart’s impact on America’s economic future.
