Walmart profit 2012 = 17 billion
Walmart employees = 2.2 Million
17 billion divided by 2.2 million = a raise of $7,727 per employee per year.
Equals a raise of $3.71 per hour per employee.
That's with Walmart making NO PROFIT.
it's hilarious how people with no business ownership or experience are telling Walmart how to operate. they are clueless....
Scamming the government and the people is not a business model.
you're delusional. it's a shame you've been brainwashed by your democrat party.

enough of the democrat/republican talking points.
what would be a fair wage per hour for a Walmart worker? I'm waiting....
Fixed it for you.

One that would keep me from paying higher taxes to support Wal-Mart employees on welfare.
The ones that Wal-Mart directs to welfare offices to get welfare due to Wal-Mart low wage and benefit compensations.
you people keep talking about fair wages and refuse to say what a fair wage per hour is. I'm STILL waiting.....
This has nothing to do with fair wages.
It has everything to do with taxpayer subsidized Wal-Mart corporate welfare.
I could care less what Wal-Mart pays their employees.
I care a great deal when they direct their employees to welfare offices and intentionally have me subsidize through increased taxes and increased government debt and deficits that fund welfare programs related to their low wage and benefits compensation model.
That is the point to all of this that you are intentionally ignoring.
Some conservatives detest welfare when it directly benefits low wage people.
They support it like in this case when it allows low wage and benefit compensations that increase corporate profits and benefits the rich, wealthy and investor classes throuhg capital flows related to passive income that is taxed at 15% capital gains and dividend tax rates.
What these conservatives fail to realize or intentionally ignore is that the corporate profits and increased capital gained by the upper economic class from low wage and benefit employees is being off-set by increased taxes on them and higher government deficits and debt to fund welfare programs due to low wage and benefit employee compensation models.
They blame the employees for being on welfare, instead of being critical of the corrupt capitalism and free market forces that put them on welfare and maintain them there in the first place.
thanks for your honesty for clarifying you have no problem with the wages paid at Walmart and that they're fair.
There is no such thing as "fair".
Nothing is "Fair"
"Fair" depends on the perspective of the individual.
However as to the answer to your question, Wal-Mart employees should be compensated at a level that keeps them ineligible for public welfare .
I see no reason why the taxpayers should have to subsidize through a type of corporate welfare Wal-Marts low wage and benefits compensation business model in-order to allow them maintain/increase their profit margins and ROI to their owners, executives and shareholders.
That is my problem with the wages paid at Wal-Mart.
while completely ignoring my question. still waiting....

again, what hourly rate is that? it's not a trick question. lol.

you're contradicting yourself on every post.
what's that compensation level?
you believe running a scam is a business model.
There is no set hourly rate.
It depends on the state / city that someone lives in and the size of their household'.
The income levels to qualify for food stamps are indicated on the SNAP site:
Eligibility | Food and Nutrition Service
The income requirements for section 8 housing vouchers are indicated here:
Income Limits | HUD USER
I am not contradicting myself.
Your problem is that you are looking at a complex issue like this from a political conservative perspective, rather than looking at it from a complex socioeconomic perspective which it is.
So if walmart had to raise wages to help employees get off welfare, and pay them in line with Costco, they might have to lay off say, 500,000 people.
Now you've got 1.6M people employed by Walmart, and 500,000 newly unemployed people.
Which situation would be better for the employees and taxpayers alike?
I get the numbers by using the figures posted earlier for costco vs. walmart.
If they were more relative in scope. I mean, the money has to come from somewhere, right?
