Earlier this year, Walmart said it would invest $2.7 billion over two years to increase entry-level wages to $10 an hour, a move the company said has led to cleaner stores, faster checkouts and improved customer service.
Walmarts strategic investments are generating traction, which is especially meaningful, given a large portion of its customer base remains challenged, said Moodys analyst Charlie OShea.
The company bucked a string of weak results by higher-end brick-and-mortar competitors like Target, Macys and Kohls.

Walmart prices are going up....
It’s part of their business plan.... after they wipe out their competition they raise prices...
Ask some of their former regional managers.
Exactly.
Walley world’s sales are increasing cause some folks have said to hell with target.
WalMart does manufacturing?
Out here in the home country it’s a buck 75!
I did not know this. I really wasn't sure Jet would survive they were losing money hand over fist to try to get a Customer base. They don’ have near the selection like Amazon, but I'm all for giving far Lefty Bezos a run for his money. I bought a replacement Roku from Jet earlier this year. With the discount code they sent me I saved about $12 over Amazons price. Interestingly enough fulfillment was actually from Toys are Us.
“Nobodys at the Kmart or Sears, so little or no crime.
Sears should just downsize. Kenmore and Craftsman products still have appeal (I know other manufacturers just slap a different nameplate on Kenmores) Tools and Applances may be there only saving grace.
I have had more than one manufacturer that sold products to Walmart tell me that Walmart approached them and offered to help them set up and move manufacturing of their products to China.
Walmart even told them that if they did not move manufacturing and stay price competitive, they would lose Walmart’s business.
Hillary was on the board of directors of Walmart while this was going on. It’s the reason for the illegal transactions between the Clinton election contribution scandal and the Chinese representatives like Charlie Trie who escaped to China and was never prosecuted.
Take a look at whose airplanes Clinton flew on during the 1992 primary.... Walmarts....
The transactions between the Clinton’s and China at the expense of the American are worthy of a book on the subject.If RICO ever applied, it applies to the Worldwide Clinton Family organized crime operations.
Or course the author would most likely end up dead just like the DNC computer guy who provided the emails to Wiki.
