A new company’s wage tracker took a close look at 66 of America’s biggest food and retail companies and some of the results are staggering.

Workers and family members take part in a 15-city walkout to demand $15 per hour wages, on Wednesday, May 19, 2021, in front of a McDonald's restaurant in Sanford, Fla.Work sucks, and the pay is too low. This is almost a universal constant in America, but for many workers at some of the biggest food service and retail companies in the U.S., it’s a matter of corporate policy to pay people well below a living wage, according to a new study.

A new company wage tracker designed by the Economic Policy Institute and the Shift Project took a closer look at 66 of America’s biggest food and retail companies. Some of the results are staggering, and provide a striking window into what it’s like to work at some of the largest chains in America. Dollar General, for instance, pays 92 percent of their workers below $15. McDonald’s is at 89 percent. At both of these companies, more than 1 in 5 workers makes below $10 per hour.
