I think the average wage is 17-18 an hour. Thats probably the industry avg or close to.

How many millions of people don’t work at all in this country?

Why would Wal-Mart defy basic supply and demand for unskilled labor?

You know what else would drive wages up? If every able bodied person would get off their arse and actually work. Then these major corporations wouldn’t have an endless supply of unskilled labor to go through with incredibly high turnover as they would have to pay more to retain the few quality people they get

I'm surprised it hasn't been done already.
