You are making one huge assumption. Namely that said associates work 40 hour work weeks.

If Walmart took its entire $22 billion of annual pre-tax income and used all of it to give each one of its 2.1 million employees a raise, this would amount to about $10,000 a year apiece. In other words, if Walmart decided to use 100% of its operating profit to pay all of its employees more, the average store associate's salary would go from $20,000 to $30,000. Great! Do it. I am sure the Walmart employees will be very happy.
