there must be a huge amount of fraud involved.

Or a lot of people working for "JCs" who don't pay for spit. There was a post on the Fool METaR board, a while back, about the challenges of trying to make a living at Walmart. According to the post, most people are kept under 40 hours/week, so they are classified as "part time", with reduced benefits. Work schedules are uneven, so you may work 35 hours one week, and 5 hours the next. Several years ago, there was an uproar because a memo from Walmart management came to light, that directed employees to apply for food stamps and Medicaid, so that we taxpayers were, in effect, subsidizing Walmart's payroll.
