Oh...the average *fulltime* WalMart employee makes $8.81 an hour, or
about $17,000 a year. And WalMart plays fast and loose with employee
hours and full and part time classifications. The average WalMart store
requires $1.5 million in pubic subsidies for its workers so they can buy
enough food to eat.

Walmart is a deadbeat company, relying on taxpayer food stamp subsidies
to keep many of their employees fed. Medicaid too.
And some of their stores are really badly run. Wife stopped going to
the local Walmart because the availability of some staples is hit or
miss.
Oddly enough, she always finds those staples at a Walmart near our son's
house, in a less "expensive" area.
A brief look on the internets shows Apple pays its employees more than
Walmart pays, so Greg probably pulled that one directly from his ass.
But hey, common wages don't matter anyway. Stock prices and executive
pay matter. That's how it is in the good ole USA.
Some like it that way, some don't.
Easy to tell who's who in that regard.

So don't work for Walmart. They don't put a gun to your head and make
you work there.
If they couldn't get people to work for what they pay, they would pay
more or simply close the store.

Ahh, a fan of the climb to the bottom. Well, of course.
