Glassdoor says the average was only $12 but in October they raised it to $15 minimum. Walmart’s low end is about $13 but the average is $17 an hour. Walmart has 1.5 million workers in the US, over 2 million worldwide.

The goods news is Amazon’s pay raise has made Walmart and Target increase their minimum wages as well.

Reminder that the Amazon pay raise occurred because Bernie Sanders shamed them into it. Disney as well.

Average pay is a meaningless statistic unless combined with a number of other statistics. What would be interesting is knowing the mean pay.

Ummm... you probably meant "median". Note, "average" is just "arithmetic mean".
