    • In December 2008, Kohl's won a bid to take over 31 locations across the country that formerly housed Mervyn's. Kohl's also secured five more former Mervyn's locations shortly after to bump the total up to 36. This fall, Kohl's will fill 30 former Mervyn's locations across California. In total, Kohl's is bringing roughly 4,200 jobs to a state with an 11.6 percent unemployment rate. [Not to confused with Merced's local unemployment rate of 16.6%]

      In Vegas:
      With Nevada’s unemployment rate at record levels, the creation of any new jobs is a cause for celebration.

      A representative for Kohl’s department stores said 450 people were hired for three new locations in the Las Vegas Valley.

      The stores officially opened Wednesday at the following locations:

      # 1316 W. Sunset Road, Henderson
      # 1300 S. Nellis Blvd., Las Vegas (Nellis Crossing Shopping Center)
      # 4265 S. Grand Canyon Drive, Las Vegas

      The openings in southern Nevada are part of a 37-store expansion nationwide. Kohl’s planned to hire 5,200 people at the new stores.
