To all the people whining that this is a disingenuous example....you are correct.
However, we've repeatedly been unable to get you to recognize that a NATIONAL mimimum wage gets really really messy when you consider that parts of the US have a cost of living over double that of other parts of the USA.
Also, please stop being intentionally obtuse about "nobody asking for $17/hour", there have been many many threads about "living wages" like the thread about the McD's worker getting paid a lot more in Denmark....where the cost of living is vastly higher.
Basically, I see the same people flip-flopping back and forth citing high wages as justification one place and then turning around and crying foul when someone from the other side uses the same bad logic.
What other Wal-Mart store had employees demanding 17 an hour.

You ask this question as if you suppose that there are other places similiar to North Dakota's job market that should be doing this. I'm asking you to point us to those places.
So you agree, this is a one off place and shouldnt be used as an example, great.
One store, in one location, in one state with a shortage of local workers at a point in time.
Is this a flipping joke?
So how many other stores, and locations, in North Dakota and the country, have this shortage in workers (and increase in demand) that are paying workers more?
Where else in the country are they sitting on 7.4 billion barrels of oil?
Is it reproducible in any other state or county in America?

There is no Dem amnesty bill. But i guess if you want to play ignorant, you have a right to do that.
