Year over year, hourly wages increased 4.3% in August. Unemployment rose to 3.8% in August, up from 3.5% in July.
Walmart is the bellwether for wage structure.

I’ve never seen a happy looking Walmart employee.

I have. It was back in the mid-1980s.

The cost of stuff you buy goes up.
Your hourly wage goes down.
Bidenomics!

There’s a paywall. What is their hourly wage now?

Walmart has a "shrinkage" problem. The pay cuts can be blamed on a certain highly visible "clientele".

A woman comedian said: I once worked as a stock clerk at Walmart. It didn’t just happen automatically. I had to dream it first.

I’ve looked at Jim’s bar.
I don’t ever recollect him being so far short.

Bidenomics!Lean days ahead for the hoi polloi. Saw an article earlier today that health insurance premiums are taking a big leap in 2024.

I’m not seeing lack of demand at local Walmarts.
My neighbor Mark the arborist says the tree-trimming business is back to normal after Hurricane Ian.

At Osprey, Florida, Walmart pays $15/hour to start.
At Nokomis, Florida, Aldi is offering $18/hour for full-time employment.
To: frank ballenger
When inflation exploded, nothing was going to satisfy employees beyond salary adjustments. Even then, inflation prevented workers from feeling like they were getting ahead. More like treading water. Not much satisfaction there.

Not bad for a lower entry pay.

My former neighbor Mike was told his single-family home rent was to be $4500/month instead of $1900/month.
He now lives around Lake City, Florida.
To: Brian Griffin
Tree trimming in Florida is a necessity.

Aldi gets good people for its money.
The USA may be headed down, but there are still many good people here.
