They are able to work for $11/hr. because they get food stamps and rent subsidies from the government. The US taxpayer has been subsidizing the wages of Walmart employees since its inception, so that cheap Chinese coffee maker you bought at Walmart wasn’t really so cheap.
Walmart Prices Would Rise By Pennies If It Paid Workers More Than Poverty Wages
Unreal, look at the revenue of this company, $121 BILLION in profits, almost half a trillion in net sales and they are paying employees less than what freakin’ illegals get? I live on the east side of Long Island in farm area, if you offered farm work to an illegal for 88 bucks a day BEFORE taxes which probably comes out to $60 a day they’d laugh in your face. Actually $100 bucks a day was what they were paid 15 years ago when I worked on a farm, now it’s probably $150. This Walmart is making money hand over fist from taxpayer funded employees!
