Staff can't even afford a turkey because we get paid under $15 per hour while being forced to stand and run around for 8 hours being degraded by upper management and customers. Thanks guys for your commitment to staff. Employees at more than 60 companies, including Albertson's (JEWEL OSCO), Dollar General, McDonald's, Starbucks and Walmart. EPI analyzed the responses and found that 89% of McDonald's workers make below $15, while 92% of Dollar General workers also make below $15. The survey data suggests that states should increase their minimum wage, EPI said. "Low wages are a defining feature of the U.S. labor market, and the service sector in particular," Ben Zipperer, an EPI economist, said in a statement. "Low pay is not limited to mom-and-pop stores - it is also widespread in big box stores, restaurants and grocery stores that often have high CEO pay and revenue."
