In fact, a large number of people working for the great Walmart on benefits.
True story. Some decades ago, I was paying too much attention to the propaganda that my old union put out, including about Wal-Mart. During a particularly spiteful period of our marriage, my wife decides she wants to get a job there. The very idea drove me up the wall. She loved that job, more than any other job she has ever had, and she has a BS degree in Biology, and worked in her field for P&G for years before this. I changed my mind about Wal-Mart pretty quick, and one reason is this...
They have a free-to-use legal consultation benefit, which has the ongoing effect of helping single parent employees, particularly part-time employees, discover and apply for public benefits for which they would qualify. You see, corrolation is not causation; Wal-Mart's competitors don't have as high a percentage of their employees on public assistance not because the competitors pay more, but because the employees of competitors are not
aware that they qualify, or if they are aware, don't apply because of the difficulty of demonstrating that they qualify without legal aid.
I have literally never seen this kind of benefit anywhere else, although I have heard of something similar at other companies.
