Not everyone can be Welders and construction workers in America. Many jobs never offer union jobs that guaranteeds at least a decent salary and working hours. Walmart is one of those places. Many times there's not any other place for someone to work. They don't offer enough hours for some people to qualify for healthcare. US taxpayers end up paying for the welfare that some of these folks have to be on. Some of the same folks don't want to be on welfare but Walmart won't pay them a living wage. Why don't you just shove it.
