Excepting a single month in 2000, the US unemployment rate is at its lowest since the late 60s and the economy is booming like crazy. Walmart requires more employees than any other company, and is simultaneously also seen as, and probably is, one of the worst possible companies to work for. They're going to suffer major retention issues and end up scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of employee quality.
I don't think it has anything to do with image. Just basic market dynamics. They need more, better, and more reliable employees. So they're offering a better value. That, or one of the Waltons has decided to get in on this sweet presidenting business and they're tossing a few bones out for 2020.
