McMillon announced a bold new initiative on pay and training for U.S. associates. Approximately 500,000 full-time and part-time associates at Walmart U.S. stores and Sam's Clubs will receive pay raises in the first half of the current fiscal year.
Current and future associates will benefit from this initiative, which ensures that Walmart hourly associates earn at least $1.75 above today's federal minimum wage, or $9.00 per hour, in April. The following year, by Feb. 1, 2016, current associates will earn at least $10.00 per hour.
We’re also strengthening our department manager roles and will raise the starting wage for some of these positions to at least $13 an hour this summer and at least $15 an hour early next year. There will be no better place in retail to learn, grow, and build a career than Walmart.

I wonder what this will do to employee turnover. Will they weed out the dead weight people and replace them?

I dunno
Wal-mart the new post office?
How about Wal-mart man up and give the vast majority of their "under employed" *36 hours a week "full time" employment status with benefits and stop dicking around

Sorry if I feel that the lady handling my food should have basic hygiene mastered. Little things like washing her hands after going to the bathroom. She didn't brush her teeth but I'm confident her hands are clean.
That's why they are raising the pay scale, to get a higher quality employee. We will see in time.

Managers only make $13 an hour?
What happened to working your way up?
Now managers are at a poverty level.
