Citing a Penn State study, Mitchell told Common Dreams that research has proven that when Walmart opens a store, poverty rates are negatively impacted and that the more stores that have opened in a particular county, the worse it is. This is a company that everywhere it goes it creates poverty. In addition to their own workers low wages, Mitchell explains that Walmart, because of their enormous size and market power, have held down wages for the whole sector. As a retailer that specifically targets a low-income demographic, Mitchell adds that the insidious genius of their business model is that they have so squeezed American workers [...] many feel that their only choice is to shop at Walmart. commondreams.org/headline/2014/03/26-6
