Ever wonder about how tough things really are out there on the job front?
Consider this.
Wegmans, the upscale supermarket, is opening another store next week in Montgomeryville. They're filling 500 positions at the new store.
Guess how many people applied for the jobs? The company says it got 10,000 applications. You read it right, that's three zeroes after that 10.
That means you had about a 5 percent chance of getting hired.
Wegmans now has 8,500 employees in 16 Pennsylvania stores. They are hoping to build a new store in Concord next year. Right now the closest stores are in Downingtown and Malvern, Chester County, and Cherry Hill, N.J.
