Walmart has an average pay scale of over $12.00 p/h. They have thousands of outlets. People that have worked there for years and have earned $15 to $20 an hour will likely see their hours scaled back to accommodate the sniveling idiots who demand $15 as a starter.
Prices will go up an average of 25% because that’s how much Walmart pays in salaries and hourly pay out of their gross. And, of course, hundreds of thousands will lose their jobs.
This would affect suppliers, truck drivers, distribution, wholesalers, brick layers, carpet installers, all forms of construction, farmers. It’s endless.
That's why Liberals are so ignorant about how the economy works. :)
