Their workforce consists of single parents, people who are ethnically diverse, and people who are undereducated. The following individuals exemplify their workforce. Jim is a single parent with two young, school-aged children. He lives about an hour from work and works the morning shift. Jane is just starting her working career, having been out of college only a year. She has just had a baby. Her husband also works full-time for Mini-Markets. They have been saving her salary and living on her husband's while waiting for the baby to be born. Wilma is 66 and wants to retire in a few years but isn't sure what she'll do with herself when she does. Plus, she'd like to have some extra time right now to spend with her grandchildren. Tim is a high school drop-out who struggled with drugs. Since Mini-Markets gave him a chance, he's really turning his life around. He's one of his store's most reliable and productive employees.
