It's amazing how many people want to make this about me. Read the OP, a lousy penny more on the dollar and those people won't have to rely on food stamps to make ends meet.
Why do you ignore that? What is it with you people?
You are against the food stamp program yet you have no problem with a company like Walmart making out be because of it. They pay their workers so little, they have to rely on food stamps which they then turn around and spend at Walmart. Do you not see how bad that is for our country? For those people? For our taxes?
My niece got her degree in Environmental studies. Even with the disaster that is Fukishima she can't get a job in her field. She had to go back to school and get a degree in pharmacology and she still doesn't make much more than minimum wage and she has $thousands in college loans.
Starting pay is 11.50 an hour. And they dont hire dumbfucks and slackers. Which eliminates most low wage workers.
The thing you have to remember is not all workers are willing to make a commitment to a job. Those that are succeed,whether they work at Costco,Micky D's. Or a fortune 500 company.
This is probably an indication of other things, notably that colleges are over-utilized economically and/or that there is a gross misalignment between what people are majoring in and the need for those particular skill sets. If a million history majors were swept up in the rapture, there would still be too many left behind for them to all have employment in their field.
Part of this is what we call a "college." Beauty School and Plumbing Schools are now deemed "colleges."
I know I'm an old bastard, but in my way of thinking, if it isn't accredited and doesn't offer a bachelors, it ain't a college. A certificate in muffler repair isn't a college education. Real colleges call themselves universities, and trade schools call themselves colleges. Azusa Pacific is a nice college, but they have one campus and one major offered - they are a college. They are accredited and offer a bachelors program, but they are a college. Universities are multi-campus, multi-discipline affairs. BUT to differentiate themselves from the trade schools they claim to be a university.
The degradation of language....
Nearly 45 percent of U.S. workers who earned less than $10.10 an hour last year had either attended college or had graduated, according to an analysis by John Schmitt, a senior economist at the liberal Center for Economic and Policy Research

Environmental studies? She might as well have taken underwater basket weaving.
Why didnt you steer her in a better direction?

You know, once upon a time, with a college education, you could get a job practically anywhere, and it didn't matter what your degree was, as long as you had one. Not so today. No, we've shipped our well paying jobs overseas and just to make it worse, we've brought in guest workers and illegals to take our jobs here and keep our wages low.

Remember when libs would bleat how bad Walmart was for wiping out mom and pops..now they praise Costco for same thing.
Many 'mom and pop' stores earn a lot more than you might think.

I own a mom and pop "store" My wife and I have yet to draw a dime of salary.
Yes. Some earn a comfortable living, but most just get by. Asking them to give their employees a 50% raise would put a great many out of business. Would you rather make $7 or $0?
The Shocking Truth About What It Would Cost Us All If Walmart Paid A Living Wage
Watch the video.
$300,000,000 a year in food stamps just for walmart employees. Give them a living wage and we pay an extra 1.4% on their goods. One penny for every dollar spent at Walmart and those employees would not need to live on food stamps.
What would stop them from buying stupid crap and still needing food stamps?
