This is a bad way to measure things because SNAP benefit qualifications are measured by annual income and number of children.

Walmart could pay shelf-stockers $50/hr, but if they have 6 kids and work 20 hours a week, they would actually qualify for food stamps. Does that mean they're underpaid at $50/hr?
