They don’t pay slave wages. I worked for a large corporation and was able to retire early and comfortably.

It is a generalization based on anecdotal information, Wal-Mart is a big corporation, It employs all kinds of people from minimum wage to executive level salaries. The same holds true for agribusiness.

After adjusting for inflation, men who work full-time in America today make less money than men who worked full-time in America 40 years ago.

It is hard to believe, but 62 percent of all Americans make $20 or less an hour at this point.

Nine of the top ten occupations in the U.S. pay an average wage of less than $35,000 a year.

According to one recent study, 40 percent of all Americans could not come up with $2000 right now even if there was a major emergency

Less than one out of every four Americans has enough money put away to cover six months of expenses if there was a job loss or major emergency.

An astounding 56 percent of all Americans have subprime credit in 2014

You are talking of the past. Once big corporations DIDN'T pay slave wages. Today they pimp for intervention into the market for labor by supporting flooding the country will illegals and guest works from third world countries. Even those in once high paying STEM fields now compete with illegals.

Dropping subsidized health care coverage is a de facto decrease in compensation. Free or subsidized health insurance was once a form of untaxed compensation. No more.
