<P>In Wal-Mart's case, again, the average employee makes $8.50 per hour,<BR>or roughly $14,000 per year.<BR><BR>For a comprehensive explanation of the talking points and how they<BR>relate (or don't) to reality, this Slate article helps:<BR><><><><></P>

<P><STRONG>Could we look at what other places are paying in this area? even at 8.50 an hour that is well above what the sTate of idaho has set in place as a min. wage. while i am not going to qoute what i make on this list, i can tell you that i make more money and am better off working for walmart than when i was working as a CNA for the state of idaho taking care of our elderly population, what is wrong with this picture? </STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>I think Wal-Mart does a pretty good job at being competive with wages as to what the cost of living is, min wage for the state that they are in and what other people are paying, my opinion, if walmart was the lowest paying places for retail in this area, no one would be working for them......</STRONG></P>
