Mr. Geek, <br /> <br /> <br />All this time I thought we had minimum wage so that companies were forced to pay enough to keep families off of food stamps. If Wal-Mart pay was so terrible you would see workers striking in droves, but you don't. Let us examine some simple facts. <br /> <br />The majority of Wal-Mart’s hourly store associates in the United States work full-time. <b>That is well above the 20 - 40 percent typically found in the retail industry.</b> Their average hourly wage for regular full-time associates in the U.S. is $9.68 an hour, almost double the federal minimum wage. Wal-Mart’s average full-time wage in urban areas is slightly higher than the national average. For example: Chicago, $10.69; Austin, TX, $10.69; Washington D.C./Baltimore, $10.08; Atlanta, $10.80; and in Los Angeles, $9.99. <br /> <br />Did you get all of that, good now lets look at some more facts, the average worker at Star Bucks a well known Liberal company only pays $7.00 an hour. So what proof do you have? <br /> <br />Tom, right the air polution is bad enough down here. <br /> <br /><font color="green"><font face="Script MT Bold">James, bringing facts to a gun fight, and buying ink by the barrel.</font id="Script MT Bold"></font id="green"> <br />[img] http://www.ci.mocity.tx.us/depts/attorney/Graphics/lady_liberty.gif [/img]
