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.


Yes, we should all be so proud of Apple:

"So who's the biggest wage stiffer? Apple is by far the worst in rewarding profitability. But
Walmart underpays the most people, and McDonald's pays the lowest wages. For those of us who
subsidize these companies with tax dollars for their employees' food stamps and Medicaid, it doesn't
matter who's worse. We're all getting stiffed. "

There must be some reason you progressive mouthy liberals like Apple so much. What is it?
