The world’s biggest retailer, which employs 1.5 million people in the United States, also said it is raising wages to more than $15 per hour on average. About half of Walmart’s hourly U.S. workers will earn $15 an hour or more, though there are some roles that will still start at $11 an hour, the company said.
Walmart forecast adjusted net sales to grow in the low single digits in fiscal 2022 which ends Jan. 31, much lower than the 8.5% growth seen in the preceding year. It also expects earnings per share to be flat-to-slightly up, below the 2.2% growth analysts had been expecting, according to Refinitiv.
“The guidance that we’re going to give this morning really doesn’t include any material stimulus because we just don’t know what will happen. If we get more stimulus certainly that’s a tailwind for us,” Chief Financial Officer Brett Biggs told Reuters in an interview.
Some roles at $11 so basically all front line staff and how long will it take for then to get to $15?
And the wealth of the top 10 richest people grew by how much during this pandemic? 540 billion dollars?
Will these hourly workers Walmart be full time or part time employees? That’s the question.
So how many will still need SNAP benefits to get by

When are they going to start treating their employees like human beings?

I no longer do any business with Walmart. Bag searches leaving the store. Demanding to make a copy my ID for their records when a TV was delivered. Which I refused to allow that caused a stand off with the shipper. Eventually I got my TV & no copying ID. Distrustful company.
Thats a bad Headline . Walmart is raising minimum wage to $13 only. Your headline seems like Walmart is raising minimum wage to $15. We want $15 minimum wage for everyone who works in this country
That's really sad considering not a single Walmart employee at my local store speaks a lick of English. Why can't we just pay them in their own currency since they won't even bother to learn the language?
I have a very large penis, 'on average'
Pay 100 workers $10 per hour & 1 executive $550 per hour that averages out at just over $15 per hour. Is that how it works?
This what corporations do to keep it from becoming law. Put out a press release pretending legislation isn’t necessary. Then they can use lobbying pressure and disinformation to kill it and go back to the status quo.

“On average “
their profits and overhead (mark up) is a percentage added to costs one of them being wages paid so the higher the wages the higher the profit = inflation and then people may learn the minimum wage IS STILL THE MINIMUM WAGE
While at the same time Walmart promotes manufacturing in China and exporting higher paying manufacturing jobs in the United States...
Duh ofcourse it will slow down because everyone will be at work and will have no time to shop
Their prices are rising.
IMO Large retailers can afford $20. Mom and Pop shops not so much,. You will see more small businesses fail from this. In my mind that is the plot!
“On average” 👀
Yeah but they just won't let you get 40 hours!
$15.00/hr and 15 hours per week does not a rent pay.
On average.
Why stop at $15? The CEO makes more than $15 an hour. So should the employees. I say if it’s not $50 an hour then it’s not enough.
Hahaha! tedcruz you are the bad guy in a movie that runs away in the end trying to save his own ass. By the way, he also ditched his Canadian citizenship in the past.
