Walmart Implements Pay Cuts for Certain New Hires

Walmart is adjusting its pay scale, resulting in some new store workers starting at a lower hourly pay rate, except for those in specific departments. The change aims to create consistency in starting pay across stores, improve staffing, and enhance customer service. Current employees will not experience pay cuts. The move comes as the U.S. job market shows signs of improvement, with Walmart having previously announced pay raises for U.S. workers earlier this year.
