Thousands of Americans fill out a Walmart application and get hired to work for the company every year. In fact Walmart is the single largest private employer in the united States. But contrary to what some people might think Walmart is no longer just a US based phenomena and has spread out all over the world.
It does not operate in all countries under the same name though. In the UK Walmart is known as Asda, while in Mexico it operates as Walmex. In India the stores are called Best Price and in Japan as Seiyu. In one of its newer markets, China though it is still called Walmart although Chinese Walmarts are, as you might expect rather different to the American ones.
In all the Walmart corporation, under its various different locals names operates 4,263 stores and employees 660,000 workers in 15 countries outside the United States.
