Super Walmart Edgewood??

[ziaAirmac]

Call it what it is: China Mart. I'd say more power to them if they weren't so 'Americentric' in all of their marketing and advertising. Just look at the colors. I don't think the post office has more red white and blue up. I understand that those without options will see the new jobs as opportunity, but having your local economy's money vacuumed out to Beijing via Bentonville each night can't be healthy in the long run. I was glad that the Wal-Mart near Balloon Fiesta Park was stopped by a city land purchase, although I think there were some posts touting that as a negative move by the city. Another consequence will be that people who felt Edgewood was a bit too far and isolated will feel better about flocking to the area with the warm cocoon of a Super Wal Mart to ease their convenience concerns.

Edgewood. R.I.P.

Substitute teachers don't make much either. Something around $6.50-7/hr last time I checked. Certainly does make WM look good.

When I lived in the FL panhandle, I knew PhD's who were working at WalMart. The regular job market was so bad and benefits non-existent (captive labor market - 3 major military bases & 2 minor ones within 200 miles of each other), so people would take whatever jobs they could find. WM figured it out, of course, and started cutting back "fulltime" employees to 34 hours (parttime) so WM wouldn't have to offer benefits. This was the mid-late 90's.

If the Moriarty-Edgewood school district is paying those rates show me where to sign up please.

I'm not sure how much they make. The substitute bus and nutritional service workers get $6.50/hr, so I would assume substitute teachers would get a little more. I did see an article where bus drivers were leaving Moriarty-Edgewood schools and taking jobs at Wal-Mart for better pay & benefits.

I know someone who used to sub at the middle school, up til last year. I may see her today; if I do, I will ask. I overheard one teacher say to another at school this year that it was no wonder they were not getting enough subs considering they were paying about $6.50 per hour.

On the HR page of the district website, bus driver pay for open positions was listed at $9.50 per hour. Not sure if that is a raise b/c they need to attract more drivers or if that is the rate the drivers were making when they left to work at WM

I would be shocked if WM was offering more per hour than $9.50 to regular old cashiers, CSRs and stockers. My guess is they left for more or better hours combined with high enough pay to make the switch worth it. Maybe there is an employee discount as well?

I did not apply for a WM job when they were hiring but my assumption was they were starting people like cashiers at $7.50-8 per hour, since Target in ABQ was advertising they were hiring for $7.75 per hour over the winter.

Anyone know how much WM really is paying?

Sorry to drag this one up from the back pages (and continue a tangent not really related to Walmart but not worthy IMO of starting a new thread) but in case anyone is waiting with bated breath on MESD pay rates for subs I found out unoffiicially today - from conversing with a sub I know.

I asked her about the low pay rates and she said the low end that I heard is for those that have a HS degree and less than 60 cr hrs of college.

I asked her about 4 yr degree that is non-teaching and she said about $95/day.

...dusting off my resume...

Well, I for one thank you for posting this info! I was curious.

Let us know how the substituting goes. Have you done it before? As I said about teaching middle school...it's not a job, it's an adventure.
