The move to help its employees go to college looks good for a company that has been pilloried over the years for its low wages, lack of room for career growth, and stingy benefits. That cocktail has made it hard for the mega-chain one-stop shop to retain its workers. But it has tried to change in recent months, boosting its base-pay by $2 to $11 per hour and expanding its family benefitsmaternity leave, in particular, which went from six to 10 weeks of paid leave. Offering tuition assistance to employees is another step toward making the company more worker-friendly.
Robert Kelchen, assistant professor for higher education at Seton Hall University, put it like this: What this shows iswhile its good PR for Walmartits getting more difficult for companies to keep employees with the economy improving and theyre looking for ways to both keep talented employees and build up goodwill among the public.
I'll check out that new one though. Thanks for the link.
I actually wasn't posting that for you. I was posting it for Balrog. I don't care what you think because the last time (and other times in the past) you've clearly argued in bad faith.
Lol I'd love to see a single example of this occurring but whatever. Like I said, the topic title is "The Atlantic: The economy stronger than ever, workers benefit from more pay" for anyone who wants to check that site.
I guess if arguing in bad faith means disagreeing that the cost of living in Iowa decreasing is a good indicator that the rest of the nation will follow suit then I argued in bad faith.
The headline of that Atlantic article a bit higher up is literally: "Say Hello to Full Employment Want to know where the economy is headed? Look at Des Moines." ---
