On average “Walmart saves a typical American amily o

our about $2500 a year. That’s about what a amily o 

gets rom the government in ood stamps. That makes

Walmart a major antipoverty orce in the United States”

(Kestenbaum, 2017, para. 3).

Another actor to consider when thinking about Walmar

that “since 1990, the global rate o poverty has been cu

two-thirds. That’s the sharpest decline in human poverty

all o history, more than one billion people have been li

out o poverty during that period and Walmart is a majo

orce in that eect” (2017, para. 3).
