As it turns out, most small businesses pay a higher wage than the big corps. Average wages end up going down when a town gets Walmarted because Walmart pays less than the small businesses it drives out.

Im not sure thats right. Mc dick pays 15 dollars an hour here and a mom n pop shop downtown either wont hire you or pays 9 dollars.
