For four to five months, November 15 to April 5, the local boat businesses operate with a skeleton staff ..... many get laid off for the winter off-season ..... some boat technicians go south to Florida for work in the winter.
And, besides all the seasonal issue of boat business employment, the Gilford Walmart may have more total employees than the summer boat businesses at its summer time peak. If you count all the local Walmarts in Tilton, Plymouth, and Gilford ..... I suspect that would be the case.
And, Walmart may be controlled by the Walton family, but there's thousands of different owner, share holders, who benefit by holding Walmart stock and getting their safe, quarterly dividend.
