Nothing to write home about considering the profits that Walmart makes. Anyway 40 hours is debatable. From wikipedia:

Definitions by country
The most common full-time workweek in the U.S. is between 32–40 hours. In France it is a government-mandated 35 hours per week. In Germany it is between 35–40 hours per week, and in Denmark it is 37 hours per week. In Australia it is around 38-40 hours per week, and in the U.K., whilst there is no formal definition, it is generally considered to be 35 hours a week or more. A person working more than full-time is working overtime, and is entitled to extra per-hour wages (but not salary).

Whatever their intentions, and it is difficult to tell at times with them, their wages are a joke.
