Walmart boosts pay for one million U.S. workers, tax reform is the reason why

That was different... Obummer was doing it for the PEEPUL!

Sgt Wayne Wood - Our former "community organizer in chief" added $9T to the debt and handcuffed businesses with unneeded and irrelevant regulations. But he was "GOOD" for the economy?!?!?! How do these people breathe in and out all by their selves?

PS: Contrary to liberal propaganda, WALMART is one of the most generous employers in the nation who hire low skilled people. There AVERAGE salary for full time employees has always exceeded the minimum wage. The left likes to extract the employment statistics for NEW, probationary and temporary employees as though those numbers represent their general attitude towards all employees. It's simply not true. Walmart offers a FULL ARRAY of benefits to established employees with a history of good performance for the company. This is why EVERY SINGLE attempt by organized labor to unionize Walmart employees in Right To Work states has failed when presented tot he employees for a vote.

The problem with Walmart is all of the part time employees

SPC Robert Coventry That much I agree with but until a part time worker demonstrates his skills AND his commitment and loyalty to the Job and the company he should stay temp/ part-time with minimum investment. Working is a privilege not a right and they are all legally “at will” employees. Show me you’re worth it and I’ll be just as committed and loyal to you. Employee turnover in retail is nearly 70% per year. A retailer cannot invest six significantly until there is evidence of a potential return in investment.

SPC Robert Coventry - Walmart hires many employees into "McJobs". If that is what you want, that is what you get. But they have a very strong career path. as an optician, not optometrist Dr., my wife earned nearly $75,000.00 per year managing their optical center and her employees all earned over $40,000.00 per year. So, I guess you and all the alarmists are correct, Walmart is hell bent on keeping the masses in poverty. How about doing some research and realizing that just because they are a giant retailer, they ARE NOT EVIL!
