If you are getting a significant chunk of someone's time and labor, but not paying them enough to live well, that seems like the definition of exploitation. If you can't pay a living wage, your company should go out of business - it's not helping society, and it's sucking up air that could be used by other companies that CAN pay their workers a livable wage. Specifically in the case of walmart, they CAN pay their employees a living wage. They drain about 6-7 billion from taxpayers (1) by way of workers on assistance. From 2006-2020 walmart has made over 10 billion/year every year except two (9ish billion and 6ish billion) (2) (1) https://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2014/04/15/report-walmart-workers-cost-taxpayers-6-2-billion-in-public-assistance/#19327e2d720b https://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2014/04/15/report-...
