If You Were Thinking About Shopping at Wal-Mart
Wal-Mart’s “race to the bottom” in salaries and benefits force some of its employees to rely on government-funded programs, including subsidized school lunches, food stamps, child healthcare and low-income housing assistance. Each Wal-Mart store employing 200 people costs taxpayers approximately $420,750 annually in public social services used by Wal-Mart workers whose low wages and unaffordable health insurance mean most of them are among the working poor.
