The Walmart Foundation Teams Up With the AARP Foundation to Help Unemployed Women Get Back to Work

Nearly twice as many women as men will face poverty in their retirement years, according to data from AARP. AARP data also reports that women earn 77 cents on the dollar compared to men - which translates to an average of $250,000 less over their work lives to invest in retirement.

"The Walmart Foundation is committed to supporting workers in their efforts to gain access to job opportunities," said Margaret McKenna, president of the Walmart Foundation. "We are pleased to be a part of this project, which gives mature women the opportunity to continue to play a vital role in the workforce while providing for themselves and their families."
