Wal-mart beats many jobs available in my immediate locale by a
pretty good margin. The lowest paid jobs start at $6.15 or so. Sure, there are better jobs, but when you compare the expense of driving 40 to 75 miles one way to work, a local WM job looks OK with over an hour of time and $2.50/gal gasoline saved each way. And they have a good ESOP program if one has the sense to take advantage of it, as mentioned elsewhere. Sure, many people that work there would rather make $25/hour standing around a factory watching some machine work, but most of the factory jobs here are gone for that reason. It is a lot cheaper to move the machine away to Honduras, Mexico or where ever and pay someone $2.50/hr to watch it run. Production workers have priced themselves out of the market here in the US. Raising the minimum wage will solve nothing in the long term. The real problem is that many younger Americans place an unrealistic value on the limited skill sets that they have. As one local paper said recently, if you are 35 years old and still working for minimum wage it is your own fault, not anyone else's.

eliminate all the middle class jobe and the class changes to poverty class. Not all factory workers?are lazy btw. Most are willing to work pretty hard for good pay. WM is just a garbage job you get stuck with when there is nothing else.. Yea that $25 an hour job went away and the margin goes into the CEO's pocket. Look at the Home Depot clown who got the boot today. How will he ever live on $210 mil. Watch your neighbor get screwed and someday roles will reverse and you both end up in a tent city. 35 and not a CEO making 100 mill a year is also your fault. We all should be CEOs doctors lawyers and professional people. ky4sp wrote:

Wal-mart always seems to have a big stack of applications to
choose from when someone quits for a "good" job. It looks as if we shall have to "agree to disagree" here. I don't have everything I want (my "big" amp is a reworked L4B), but many are worse off.
