They use part time hours to avoid benefits for their employees. When we lived in Georgia it was reported that there were 14 times more children of Walmart employees on Medicaid programs than any other employer. Yes, they have cheap prices but we subsidize those cheap prices with our tax dollars whether we shop there or not.

What would happen if all Walmart employees were unemployed?
