In reply to the discussion: The Most Addictive Infographic About Walmart's Greed We've Ever Seen [View all]redstatebluegirl
(12,264 posts)We all know tons of people working in hospitals, nursing homes, community homes making wages that are just not fair. By the way, not sure about the math but 11.00 an hour is 22, 880 or $440 a week. Daycare in our town for a child would be around 110 a week, after taxes and daycare she has nothing to live on.
I think EVERYONE deserves a living wage. The reason the only jobs available are Walmart is that we have allowed most of our jobs to be outsourced or shipped overseas. We have no place for a hardworking high school grad to make a living. They used to go into the factories or trade schools but those are no more. Not everyone can afford college of any kind but they still deserve a wage that allows them a decent life. Not a BMW life, a Chevy life.
