It’s more like the bazooka was pointed by the union at those factory jobs, demanding they be paid more than they were worth—until the factories shut down and went out of business.
Walmart pays at a level reflective of the employee contributions and the competitive labor market. Those with the ability to upgrade their skills ought to do so—if only because we’re letting in so many unskilled immigrants looking for work every year.

Riiight. Because big corporations are weak bitches who have no leverage against those mean, nasty unions. Now what kind of cheese would you like with that whine? Like I said, they moved so they could pay some kid chicken feed, dump their sludge wherever they felt like it, and the American worker be damned.
So who determines what a person's labor is worth??? The Chinese gov't???
and the competitive labor market.
You mean the illegals from Mexico???
Minimum wage has less value now than it did in 1960...Minimum wage is for high school and college kids...Not a man with a family who is forced to get the rest of his needed income from the gov't...
