"Despite today's tough economic climate, Dollar General continues to hire great talent," Bob Ravener, Dollar General's senior vice president and chief people officer, stated in a release. "We have exciting plans for 2010, which include expanding our work force in many suburban, rural and urban communities."

Dollar General posted a 13% increase in revenue through the first nine months of the current fiscal year, totaling $8.6 billion. Its performance goes against the grain of many other US retailers that have posted lagging sales and laid off thousands of employees in recent months.
