Too poor to have the time to educate themselves, look for other jobs, or move. Not much has changed with Walmart, infamously they have been making the taxpayers prop up their employees’ low wages and benefits for decades.
And Walmart actually benefits double because of it. Because said employees spend thier checks and food stamps right back into the company.
Back to Company Towns and Company Stores.
