LONDON -- British retailer ASDA Group Ltd., part of U.S.-based company WalMart (WMT:NYSE), said Wednesday it would add 7,000 jobs in Britain and recruit 3,000 long-term unemployed for existing positions, bucking the country's dismal retail climate.

The company said 3,700 jobs would be created at nine new food stores, five new non-food retail outlets and expansions of 15 other stores. The other positions would come at its home shopping unit ASDA.com and others through growth of existing businesses
