Economy, Environment, and Communities
Throughout the United States, Walmart has destroyed many of the communities where it is located by consistently mistreating its workers (especially women and youth associates), driving down wages and employment standards, polluting the environment, shutting down local businesses, externalizing health care costs and other expenses to taxpayers, and contributing to blight and urban sprawl in various U.S. towns, villages, and cities.
Economically, Walmart has a disastrous impact on communities, businesses, workers, and taxpayers.
