A Substantial Number of Wal-Mart Associates earn below the federal poverty line
· In 2008, the average full time Associate (34 hours per week) earns $10.84 hourly for an annual income of $19,165. That’s $2,000 below the Federal Poverty Line for a family of four.
· Last year, Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott earned $29.7 million in total compensation, or 1,551 times the annual income of the average full time Wal-Mart Associate.
Wal-Mart Associates don’t earn enough to support a family
Wal-Mart wages are not “designed” to support a family
Wal-Mart can afford wage increases
Wal-Mart’s wages are lower than other retail wages
But no incentives to their employees...
