Bentonville-based Wal-Mart Stores has also cut close to 1,000 jobs in Northwest Arkansas this calendar year. Those jobs came from several departments such as replenishment, Human Resources, Sam's Club, technology and international positions in Bentonville. Wal-Mart has also increased its spending on boosting wages, enhanced training academies, online fulfillment capacity and enhanced technology capabilities to the tune of more than $4 billion in the past two years. The business restructuring is likely to continue as the retail sector grapples with omni-channel demands, analysts say.
