When Walmart advertises that its American-made goods will create 1 million new American jobs it avoids the fact that Walmart’s Chinese-made goods totaled at least $49.1 billion in 2013 and that the Walmart-based Chinese trade eliminated 400,000 American jobs per The Alliance of American Manufacturing. Furthermore, Walmart’s average sales Associated earned just $8.81 per hour in 2010, according to IBISWorld, compared to Walmart CEO MIke Duke who received $18.7 million in compensation in 2010. This disparity places many Walmart Employee’s at poverty level in the US and also workers in China who make incredibly low wages while manufacturing the goods, reducing the standards for workers around the world. This can also carry over to lack of protection and benefits for Employees when injured at work. If you were injured at a retail job or know of someone who has been, get legal representation immediately.
