That statement is erroneous.Back in 08 an article stated in the NY Times that WM associates were receiving foodies. Corporate raised hourly wages from 1¢ to 25¢. Employees with a few children could not live with a two dollar a week raise if it meant giving up $550 in food stamps. Walmart lost more than a few talented individuals.
