Walmart is the largest private-sector employer in the U.S. It - TopicsExpress



          

Walmart is the largest private-sector employer in the U.S. It accounts for about 10 percent of employment in the retail sector. This isn’t complicated. Or, rather, it shouldn’t be complicated. By paying low wages, Walmart is effectively limiting the ability of a large chunk of the American workforce to consume. By setting a low benchmark, it encourages other employers to do the same. The sort of people who make up Walmart’s core shopping constituency are the sort of people who work there. Were they to earn more income, they’d surely spend more at stores—including Walmart. Since they don’t, they don’t.
