(6,891 posts)about $50k a year? At $11 an hour, working 8 hour days, 5 days a week for 12 months, she'd net about $28K. The median hourly wage for Walmart employees is $9 an hour and would be $17K if the employee worked 40 hour weeks for 52 weeks annually. They don't of course. The net median hourly wage is about $15K. Walmart had revenue before taxes of $402 billion last year. The seven Walton inheritors are collectively work about $102 billion, which is equivalent to a third of the entire population of the US. To say that a Walmart employee isn't worth $11 an hour because a nursing home worker only makles $9 an hours is ironic and strange, considering that the Walton heirs contribute nothing of value to society, not even the stuffing of DVDs into plastic bags.
