That wage is only for the few who basically run the show with benefits, they keep most at basic wage, and throw them a dime or quarter raise per hr. after time.

Competition is good in Business but the power of Wal-Mart is out of control and the Federal Trade Commission has got to stop WaL Mart and break them up!Wal -Mart is building a monopoly so Huge that when Wal-Mart finally destroys their competition what choices will we have left as hard working Americans , oh I know Wal -Mart and High Prices and the Waltons laughing as they check their Bank Balances.

Great Idea!! Creating more jobs and there are so many aparments in that area. Surprised it has not happened sooner.

Boycott Wal Mart!! Now whoever approved another Wal Mart in Springfield / Eugene area is crazy! They need to study the Daily Finance article 18 things about Wal -Mart that will blow your Mind and the Article Wal -Mart rolls into Battle against Big Three Grocery Chains, look it up on the Net. The Supervalue/ Albertsons chain is suffering, Safeway is holding their own but not by much and who knows how long Fred Meyer/ Kroger can withstand the ruthless Wal -Mart expansion across the entire country. Please No More Wal- Marts in all of Oregon and stop the one trying to come to Springfield Oregon

And somehow having a Target carrying groceries less than 300 feet away has nothing to do with it.
