The Summary of WalMart & Unions Survey

Our group did a survey about Wal-Mart and Unions. We found 59 people did this survey in Carbondale. 30 out of 59 are Females, 28 out of 59 are Males, and one of them didn't write his/her gender. I found something interesting in this survey. First of all, 20 our of 30 females and 18 out of 28 males go shopping in Wal-Mart. For those people go shopping in Wal-Mart, 15 out of 20 females and 11 out of 18 males feel Wal-Mart is good. Secend, 17 out of 30 females and 13 out of 28 males think Wal-Mart is good. In those people who think Wal-Mart is good, 15 out of 17 females and 8 out of 13 males think Wal-Mart should accept a union. Moreover, 26 out of 30 females and 21 out of 28 males think Wal-Mart should accept a union. Finally. 22 out of 30females and 23 out of 28 males think health insurance is more important than higher salary.

Before we did this survey, I assumed that females go shopping in Wal-Mart more often than males. However, the result of this survey shows that the ratios of females and males who go shopping in Wal-Mart are almost the same. In addition, I thought that females will more concerned about insurance than males, but in our survey, 82% males and 72% females think health insurance is more important than higher salary. Males are more concerned about insurance than females. In my oppinion, I think that is because if something bad happened to a man, the family can have some money from the insurance. Also, I found that 86% females think Wal-Mart should accept a union, but only 61% males think Wal-Mart should accept a union. More females think Wal-Mart should accept a union than males. I think maybe it is because females have more compassion than males. By doing this project, I have learned a lot.
