Rereading the article that came with the original post, I noticed that the author was an original investor at Amazon.
Amazon has a market cap of just north of $150B and about 110K employees. Walmart has a market cap of just shy of $250B and about 1.4M employees. Walmart, then, has about 5 times as many employees per unit of market cap than does Amazon. Of course the Amazon guy wants to raise the minimum wage--he wants to put the burden on his competitor.
Which company is skewing the GINI index more--the giant retailer with legions of low wage employees or the giant retailer with many fewer high wage employees?
