This is what someone posted on the internet about Walmart:
Walmart Pay Rate and Salary

Hourly Positions

Support Mgr my rate is $14.98 but in my store the five supports make between $9.93 to $21.23 an hour. The person making $21.23 has been with company 26 years so he skews the average.
Dept Mgr $10.62
Sales Assoc. $8.27
Overnight Stockers $9.29
Cashiers $8.05

The average walmart hourly pay $9.26

I don't know that I would consider that a low wage. Actually, I'm surprised it isn't minimum!

I think you are right dogula in that it would bring up the cost of things....but that would be one way of getting those who can afford it to spread the wealth. If they can afford to go out and eat....they end up helping the person who is working there for a lower salary.

I don't even have a lot of money and I'd be willing to pay an extra 50 cent a burger if it would increase the worker's wage.

What do you think?
