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.

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".

I’ve looked at Jim’s bar.

I don’t ever recollect him being so far short.

The rotten bosses at many places including mine tried to get by using this book of rewards OTHER than MONEY. All employees were grim faced, resentful and angry over it.

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.

I was trying for two hours today to order a number of items for home delivery but Wal-Mart’s website was a mess. I tried to hit Enter and record my purchase but the little icon kept spinning and wouldn’t put the items in my cart.

They are getting ready for the mandated hiring of illegals.

With Xiden allowing nearly 1.5 million to cross the borders, our replacements are ready to take our jobs.

Walmart is paying some new store workers less than it would have three months ago.

Decoded: Hire illegals at a lower cost put Americans out of
work.

Security cameras go mussing among other items.

Wal-Mart prices have skyrocketed, and self checkouts have ballooned. They need to pay MORE, not less, to the few hourly workers they hire.
