Ed Schultz blasted Walmart for not paying its workers enough money to get off of public assistance.
Last week, MSNBC pundit Ed Schultz claimed that Walmart employees receive "roughly $5,800" in public assistance per year.
That's Mostly False, we found. The study Schultz cited relied on several assumptions and is narrowly focused on Walmart workers in Wisconsin. The authors of the study said people shouldn't draw conclusions beyond Wisconsin's borders.
Yet Schultz did just that.
