Walmart – Billions of Net Profit but NO Decent Pay for Hourly Workers

Many employees still earn below the poverty line. Walmart said its store managers now average $175,000 a year, while its full-time hourly worker average $14.26 an hour.  That means many of their hourly workers earn less than $14.26 an hour.

This Net Income data is from their annual reports
2015 16.18B
2016 14.69B
2017 13.64B
2018 9.86B

Bernie Sanders is correct to point out “If Amazon, Costco, and Target can all pay their workers $15 an hour, so can Walmart.”  The real question is can anyone live on pay of less than $20 an hour?
