Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is the single most lucrative day ofthe year for retail department stores. Last year, retail stores took in over
$11 billion just on Black Friday,1and about $22 billion over the four day
weekend beginning on Thanksgiving.2
Thanksgiving and Black Friday kick off the holiday sales season which ac-
counts for 20 percent of the retail industrys total annual sales.3Some stores
can make up to 40 percent of their annual sales during this period.4 The
Black Friday weekend is the cornerstone of the holiday season, accounting
for almost 9 percent of all sales during the season.5
The two largest retailers in Minnesota and in the U.S., Wal-Mart and Tar-
get, both posted record prots last year of $17 billion6and $3 billion7re-
spectively, and the CEOs of both companies each received over $20 million
in compensation.8
However, not all Team Members or Associates shared inthe companies prosperity.
The average hourly wage of a Wal-Mart sales associate is just $8.81.9 The
average pay for cashiers at Target is $8.10/hour, while the pay for sales oor
team members is only slightly higher -- $8.34/hour.10 The situation is not
much different at other retail stores. According to the Bureau of Labor Sta-
tistics, the typical retail sales person earns just $21,000 per year. Cashiers
earn even less annual pay of just $18,500. These are the men and women
who make Black Friday possible by going without sleep to work the long,
overnight shifts, and handle irate customers who are frustrated after waitingin line for hours for deals that sell out before they even get in the store.
A full-time worker at these wages earns less than $18,500 well below
the poverty line and not nearly enough to provide food, housing, health care,
transportation and other basic needs for their families.11However, over half
of the workers in these positions at Target and Wal-Mart dont even earn
this much because they are involuntarily part-time.12
Benets are also scarce for retail department store workers who say that
the health plans are too expensive or inaccessible. Only about half of Wal-
Mart associates are covered by the companys health plan,13
while only abouta third of Target store team members participate in the companys health
plan.14
The combination of poverty wages and no benets, often coupled with
part-time hours, means that many of the families of retail store workers
must rely on taxpayer-funded safety net programs to make ends meet.

Nationally, working families make up nearly three-quarters of enrollmentsin major public benets programs.15For many workers, their jobs pay so little
that their paychecks dont cover even their basic necessities.
Low wages not only harm workers and their families they cost taxpayers.
When Big Box retail employees are unable to afford the basic necessities of
life taxpayers pick up the tab for the public benet programs that workers
need in order to get by.
Based on the utilization rates by working families of Medicaid, Food Stamps,
the Earned Income Tax Credit and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families,
we estimate that over 20,000 Big Box department store employees in Min-
nesota are enrolled in one of these four public assistance program for them-
selves or family members, at a cost of over $150 million a year to taxpayers.16
Included in this total is $44.7 million a year that taxpayers pay to help al-
most 6,000 Target employees in Minnesota who must rely on public assistance
and $40.6 million a year to help 5,300 Wal-Mart employees in Minnesota.

Even for full-time workers, the low wages paid by Big Box retail stores arentenough to cover the basic necessities for many workers. The low wages, com-
bined with involuntary part-time hours and no benets, mean that the families
of many Big Box retail workers must rely on taxpayer-funded safety net pro-
grams to make ends meet.
In state after state, Wal-Mart, Target, and other Big Box retailers are among the
employers with the most employees receiving public assistance. This shifting
of labor costs on to the taxpayers amounts to a public subsidy for Big Box
corporate giants and provides an unfair nancial advantage over others.
In 2010, over 4,300 Wal-Mart employees in Massachusetts, a quarter of thecompanys total workforce in the state, used subsidized health care for them-
selves or family members, costing taxpayers $14.6 million. Over 2,600 Target
employees, more than a third of the companys Massachusetts workforce,30
used subsidized care, costing the state $8.3 million.31Big Box retail chains
made up ten of the thirty companies with the most employees on Medicaid in
Massachusetts.

Most state reporting has only included data on Medicaid and not other publicassistance programs. In addition, the data has only reected the actual enroll-
ment in the Medicaid programs. The number of Big Box employees and depen-
dents who are eligible to participate is likely much higher.
It is clear that Wal-Mart, Target, and other Big Box retail store employees
must also rely on additional public benets. For instance, in Florida, over 9,000
Wal-Mart employees receive food stamps.34In California, a study found that the
average Wal-Mart worker required $730 in taxpayer-subsidized healthcare and
$1,222 in other types of public assistance, such as food stamps and subsidized
housing per year to get by.35
In July 2013 the Dayton Daily Newsobtained data from the state Department of
Jobs and Family Services showing that Wal-Mart had more employees or house
hold members on food stamps (14,684) or Medicaid (14,056) than any other
company in the state. Target was 11thfor most employees or family members o
Medicaid (2,479) and food stamps (2,383).36
The number of Wal-Mart employees or household members in Ohio on pub
lic assistance almost doubled from the previous ve years, and it was not relate
to an overall increase in employees. There was a 74 percent increase in the
number of Wal-Mart employees receiving food stamps and a 95 percent increa
in the number enrolled in Medicaid, while Wal-Marts total employment in the
state declined by 10 percent during this period. 37

In a report earlier this year, the U.S. House Committee on Education and the
Workforce estimated that a single 300 employee Wal-Mart Supercenter store
in Wisconsin costs taxpayers between $900,000 and $1.7 million per year or
$3,000 to $5,800 per employee.38
The lower estimate assumes that only those workers enrolled in Badger Care
also enroll in other taxpayer-funded programs. The upper estimate assumes
that an additional quarter of a stores employees enroll in other taxpayer-fund-
ed programs.

Widespread practices of involuntary part-time work and unstable schedulingby Big Box department stores push the incomes of retail workers even low-
er. Nationally the number of involuntary part-time retail workers (those who
would rather have full-time hours) has increased 144 percent from 644,000 in2006 to 1.5 million in 2010. 39
The retail industry has embraced just-in-time computerized scheduling sys-
tems, which are designed to cut costs by matching staff size to customer trafc
hour by hour. This gives managers increased exibility, but for workers it means
unpredictable schedules that vary from week to week and even day to day
Retail workers are expected to keep their schedules open in case they may be
needed and to call in on the days theyre scheduled to see if they should come
to work that day.40These scheduling systems allow Big Box stores to manage
a large part-time labor force working short shifts that can easily be changed.41According to data that Wal-Mart reported to the Partnership for a Healthy
America regarding its newly built or expanded/remodeled stores providing fresh
groceries in food deserts, more than half of the 6,700 new employees hired to
work in these stores were hired on a part-time basis.42
Target has said at different times and in different settings that part-time em-
ployees make up between 55 percent-80percent of its retail workforce. Target
said that 55 percent of the workers at a proposed Supercenter in San Rafael
California would be part-time. However, a Target human resource manager told
the San Rafael City Council that on average 65 percent of team members werepart-time. The companys Developer Guide Edition 2.11 says that approximately
80 to 85 percent of employees per store are part-time.43

Its not just workers employed directly by Big Box retail stores who are paidpoverty wages. In order to cut costs and avoid responsibility, many Big Box
stores often contract out their janitorial work. There is erce competitionamong the janitorial companies for these contracts, with each company trying
to underbid the other. Since labor is by far the largest and most costly ex-
pense in a cleaning contract, the company with the lowest labor costs tends
to win the contract. In some cases, the janitorial companies try to reduce
their labor costs with practices such as paying below minimum wage or not
paying overtime.
A number of the companies that clean Big Box stores in Minnesota have
been the subjects of lawsuits and Department of Labor investigations for not
paying their workers the overtime wages they earned.Diversied Maintenance, which is based in Florida, is the largest janitorial
service provider to Target, with contracts covering over 600 stores nation-
wide.44 Earlier this year, the company settled a lawsuit for $675,000 that had
been led by workers in Minnesota alleging that:
Employees regularly worked 56-60 hours a week without full overtime pay.
Employees were required to work seven days a week six days under theirown name and one day under a ghost name.
This is not an isolated case. In the last ten years, Diversied has settled at
least nine private lawsuits as well as six investigations by the U.S. Department
of Labor (DOL), all alleging violations of minimum wage and overtime laws.
One of the DOL investigations in Minnesota found that not only did Diversi-
ed require employees to work seven days a week without any overtime pay,
but Diversied also held new employees pay as a deposit that they would
receive when they left the company. 45
Unfortunately, these problems pervade the retail janitorial industry. Other
cleaning companies with which Twin Cities Big Box stores contract have also
been the subjects of similar lawsuits and Department of Labor investigations
for not paying their workers the overtime wages they earned.

Prestige Maintenance, based in Plano, TX, also cleans Target stores in Minneso-
ta. In 2009 the company settled a lawsuit brought by sixteen of it workers who
claimed the company owed them overtime pay. The workers who brought the
lawsuit cleaned Target stores in Maryland overnight from 10:30 p.m. to 8:00
a.m. every night.46
Prior to the lawsuit, Prestige Maintenance was investigated by the Depart-
ment of Labor at least three times, resulting in more than 400 violations for
failing to pay overtime to workers in Minnesota, Florida, and New York.47
The way in which Target drove the prices down so low in its janitorial con-
tracts came to light in a lawsuit brought by cleaning workers in Texas. Target
would conduct three rounds of bidding in which its cleaning contractors had
to submit bids for Target stores. Target controlled the bidding process in way
that pitted its cleaning contractors against one another, forcing them to un-
derbid each other. Target structured this bidding process to consist of three
rounds with a rule that each cleaning contractor could submit a lower bid
but not a higher bid in each successive round. 48

Because the pay is so low at Wal-Mart, Target, and other Big Box retail stores,and the weekly work hours are limited, many of the families of retail workers
are unable to make ends meet without taxpayer-funded safety net programs.
Medicaid, the Earned Income Tax Credit, Food Stamps, and Temporary Aid for
Needy Programs (TANF) enable Big Box retail workers to afford basic necessi-
ties like food, shelter, and health care.
Poverty wages, unaffordable health insurance, and low work hours come at a
public cost. We estimate that it costs taxpayers $150 million a year to provide
the above public assistance programs to Big Box retail workers in Minnesota.
Raising wages for Big Box retail workers will benet individual workers,
their families and community, and taxpayers. The more that Target and Wal-
Mart pay their workers, the less it will cost taxpayers to provide public assis-
tance.
Unlike manufacturers that must compete with offshore producers that have
lower labor and production costs, Big Box retail stores compete with each
other. The low-wage structure of the industry is not due to the competitive
global market, but rather a mixture of market conditions and policy chang-
es.49Pay in the Big Box retail industry could be increased through a variety of
means.
1.Target, Wal-Mart, and other Big Box retail stores should pay a living
wage. The Minneapolis and St. Paul City Councils have set $14.41/hour as their cur-
rent living wage levels.
50
This is almost double what some retail workers are currentlypaid.
2.The State of Minnesota should raise its minimum wage. Many retail
workers earn close to the minimum wage and would benet from an increase in the
minimum wage. The Minnesota House last year passed HF 92 to raise the minimum
wage to $9.50 per hour, indexed to ination. However, differences with the Senate
version of the legislation caused the bill to not make it out of conference committee
before the end of session.
3.Target and Wal-Mart should stop interfering with their employees
rights to speak out for better jobs Big Box retail employers could listen totheir employees calls for change, rather than retaliate against them for speaking out.
Last year, a federal judge set aside an unsuccessful unionization election at a Target
store in New York state and ordered a new vote, nding that Target managers had in-
timidated workers and violated federal labor laws.51Wal-Mart workers report regular
aggressive acts of intimidation and retaliation by the company against workers who
try to exercise their rights to stand up and speak out for fair treatment and respect
at work.
