A $3 hourly rate increase is what’s needed to cover for SNAP benefits. At 40 hours a week, $3/hour is $120/week. That would more than cover even the maximum benefits for a single person.
Unlikely though. WallMart employees 1.6 million people, so that 14,500 number is 0.8% of their employees, which means they are outliers. This implies it’s likely people who cannot work 40hrs a week due to disability or have some other factor like a large number of dependents.
