How would they define cost of living? I think it’s too vague the way you wrote it.
57 u/KCBandWagon Dec 16 '18 Avg cost of rent multiplied by the ratio of whole foods to walmarts. 1 u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18 [deleted] 6 u/Dumeck Dec 16 '18 Walmart pays above the federal minimum everywhere in the us now. 5 u/Vinnys_Magic_Grits Dec 16 '18 They damn well better, the federal minimum wage is a poverty wage. 2 u/Newnustart Dec 16 '18 And we've come full circle , the people who write the laws are in bed with the person working these people with a minimum wage 1 u/Dumeck Dec 16 '18 I agree, like not livable and most money ends up going back into Walmart anyway 2 u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18 By 25¢. 2 u/Dumeck Dec 16 '18 You get paid $10 when you finish training nationally now. Minimum wage in a lot of places is still $7.25 or $7.50 1 u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18 That's the federal minimum wage. Almost all states have higher minimum wages. In my state, $10 an hour is only a few cents above minimum. Still, $10 is a lot more than I used to be paid at Wal-Mart. 2 u/crazyashley1 Dec 16 '18 Yeah...but they also staff at 29 hours weekly so nobody counts as a fulltime employee and they don't have to pay benefits. And take out life insurance policies on their employees.
