How much should unskilled labor get paid exactly? I work with a nurse
who used to be a Walmart store manager and he informed me that benefits
kick in after 24 hours a week, if I recall correctly? When I was a
younger working unskilled jobs I didn't get ANY benefits years ago. I
never expected much from those jobs and just considered them stepping
stones up to something better. They certainly were motivational for
wanting better and I worked to obtain that.

I truly dislike Walmart, more because of the way they alter local
businesses (those mom and pops) as well as the demands they make on
their suppliers, but as far as their employees go, I see little
different with them than a majority of other unskilled type jobs.
