The study found that, in the ten years following the opening of a Walmart Supercenter, average annual household income in those areas declined by 6%, equivalent to about USD 5,000 per year. The most significant income drops were observed among low-income, younger, and less-educated workers. According to a survey commissioned by Walmart in 2005, the store saves households an average of USD 3,100 annually. However, many economists believe this estimate is overly generous because the income losses in these communities far outweigh the savings. Even under the most optimistic savings scenarios, they calculate that poverty increases by around 8% in areas where Walmart stores open. สล็อต เว็บตรง
