Please explain to me how Costco's supposed better treatment of its employees affects Wal-Mart's status as America's biggest employer?

If you have a costco and a wal-mart in the same market and costco pays a buck an hour more than wal-mart, then they are going to get the first pick of employees.
We were talking business plans, which was what the article at the beginning of this thread was about. Costco and Wal-Mart have different business plans where one company, Costco, looks on their employees as assets and the other company, Wal-Mart, looks on them as disposable liabilities.
