520			_aThe article discusses Wal-Mart, a "discount retailer and America's largest employer, with 1.4 million employees" (AMERICAN PROSPECT). The author claims that "with the US economy increasingly dominated by service-sector jobs, the wages of those jobs will determine whether America can remain a middle-class nation. Paying its workers an estimated $10 an hour less than the supermarket chains do, Wal-Mart presents a massive threat both to the nation's middle class and to the development of a global middle class."
