Wages, Worth, And Work

from Let's Talk About It · host Derick

+1-816-207-7881 A single letter can capture an entire system. Angie writes from Kansas, where she earns $7.25 an hour at Dollar Tree, and her questions cut to the bone: why do prices rise while pay stays stuck, and why do executives collect bonuses while stores struggle to keep staff? We take her story piece by piece, laying out the lived reality of short breaks, rotating schedules, and the feeling of being “just a number,” then stack it against the scale and profits of a national retailer. https://www.instagram.com/d6empire357 https://www.instagram.com/thaicon357 https://www.instagram.com/letstalkaboutit357
