I would like to see what mom and pop stores pay compared to walmart. Either way if walmart is paying above minimum wage isn't it the gov's fault for not having the minimum wage higher? I have some employees that I pay maybe 25% higher than walmart pays theirs. To find those employees I hired and fired 10 or so for each good employee I found. I believe that the people walmart hires probably arent smart or competant enough to get higher paying more skilled jobs anywhere else. You guys should be happy that walmart provides so many people with jobs. They employ 1% of the country.
