Average employee wage is $12.91. Starting wage 3 years ago was $1.50 over minimum wage.

Largest corporate foundation in America. Gives more than $1 billion in cash and in kind donations each year.

Bringing back U.S. manufacturing (Walmart is buying $250 billion in U.S. products over 10 years) and expanding education, training, and workforce development programs, i.e. things that will make a bigger difference, not just focusing on starting wages.

NOT MADE IN AMERICA: TOP 10 WAYS WALMART DESTROYS US MANUFACTURING JOBS | Trade Reform: News and Opinion on Trade and the EconomyTrade Reform: News and Opinion on Trade and the Economy

1. Buying billions of goods that weren’t made in America.
The vast majority of merchandise Walmart sells in the U.S. is manufactured abroad.

2. Pushing U.S. companies to move their factories overseas.

3. Making it easier for other U.S. retailers to buy from foreign factories.
Walmart was a leader in sourcing goods overseas, establishing a centralized purchasing system, technological infrastructure, and linkages to foreign factories that other companies imitated and built on

4. Forcing layoffs among its U.S. suppliers.
Even when Walmart products are made in the United States, manufacturing jobs still get eliminated as suppliers cut costs to meet Walmart’s demands for low prices.

5. Promoting domestic sweatshops.
Layoffs aren’t the only way manufacturers contrive to meet the low prices Walmart demands. Walmart’s domestic suppliers lower wages, cut benefits, aggressively fight employee efforts to unionize and bargain collectively, and skimp on worker comfort and safety.

Walmart subsodizes it's profit on the backs of the US tax payers. Fulltime Walmart employees are all on foodstamps.

And where do they spend their foodstamps? Walmart!!! They are amazing!!!

You however are a big fool. Remember GM use to be the largest employer? Eat a dick stupid.

The average wage is 12.91. The average. Does that include managers? Does that include corporate salaries? If so, that means there are a lot of people making less than the dismal $12.91 per hour. One cannot pay bills with that.

Actually WalMart subsidizes the government by paying wages to people who would otherwise be fully dependnet on gov't handouts.
Some estimate said WalMart's lower prices saved the average family over 3k a year. And that goes for people who never set foot in the place. Just the competition from WM makes other retailers lower prices.
