Forbes disagrees with the number of employees.

“Why Do 1.4 Million Americans Work At Walmart, With Many More Trying To?”

forbes.com

So Loosertarian Comic is wrong from the very start.

I looked into those figures myself a while ago. The 2 million figure comes from a less than reliable source (and is out of date), while Forbes and another business source put the number of wage earners at 1.2 to 1.4 million. Hourly workers include drivers and warehouse workers, who are likely paid more than the retail floor workers.
