The boom in means that Walmart must compete aggressively for employees, in the region.
The below pic shows what WalMart has to pay for various jobs in Williston, North Dakota.
Note well: All these wages are far above the current minimum wage. When market conditions warrant wages above the minimum wage, there is nothing that businesses, including large corporations like WalMart, can do about it other than pay the prevailing market wages, if the want to employ the workers. No unions needed, no government regulations required.
