And I call BS (Biased Study). Upon reading the whole article it seems that the 'Democratic staff of the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce' is guessing.

While the report notes it's not clear how much Wal-Mart pays its hourly workers, one research company pegs the average at $8.81. (That's above the federal minimum wage of $7.25 but below President Barack Obama's call for a $9 baseline wage.)
Okay, so Wal*Mart doesn't start basic service employees at ten bucks an hour. Can you show me anyone who does? It looks to me like they're being singled out for no other reason than that they are the biggest target in sight. Political grandstanding, and you're falling for it.
