Walmart has to offer no benefits to those under 32 hours. At our local store, they have cut employees by 30% since last summer. They have one cashier from 9 pm to 6 am. Not unusual to see 10-12 customers In checkout lines. Stockers on 2nd and 3rd shift have been cut from 20 per shift to 6 per shift.
It's interesting because I believe the Walton family backed Clinton in the election. Still, I don't think the news is any revelation or some proof that this tax law is so great.

It's not even proof that it's because of the tax law. Walmart has been raising their starting pay every year for the last 3 years.
We need Better jobs than Walmart. US shift to service sector was soul killing for many. Nothing like having the only job in town one where employees need supplemental welfare and many of the customers use EBT, every day there are multiple thefts and the customers look like Walking Dead.
Depends on where the Walmarts are located. I live in a community with over 100k residents, where 2/3 have a Bachelors or better and the Median HHI is over 100k (The Woodlands, TX). There are four Walmarts along the perimeter of my community, including one that has (at the time it opened at least) the only Chobani Cafe outside Manhattan. The shoppers in those Walmarts don't reflect the entertainment example bolded above.

Not all the corporations have the same interest. Walmart was more deeply invested in TPP than a tax break.
My son is a night stocker at Walmart and already gets $11. But they have cut staff by 30% or more in all departments.
A Night Stalker?
Well that is one of the better jobs, at least not dealing with the zombies.
If he gets laid off he should try a grocery store, some of them seem to pay well for night shifts.
