Do the top USA businesses such as Walmart also have the top amount of welfare collectors on their payroll?

I can't remember where I heard this but someone said the majority of people who work for Walmart can't even pay their bills on a full time salary. So the collect food stamps & other gov. assistance just to function. Yet the money the people make at the top is at an all time high.

1. I new a girl that work at Wilmar. She made good money. She used her boy friend to get food stamps. I feel some of them are doing that.
2. jobs like cashier, or porter are mostly unskilled 1st time jobs that anyone can do. if you chose walmart as your career that is your problem.
3. Yes, in fact there was a 60 minutes story that the health benefits people at walmart were helping their employees enroll in medicaid.
4. Most Wal Mart workers are barely over minimum wage.
5. Yes you are correct. The vast majority of Walmart employees are on some sort of welfare and the walmart HR folks at stores here in the San Francisco bay area have computers set up to enroll their employees for food stamps and public health (Medi-Cal) benefits. Walmart likes having us tax payers help support their workers.
6. So walmart should stop hiring poor people? Ok cool
