eric chemi is back at headquarters with more eric >> that's right, guys.at makes walmart unique here, it's the only company in america's top ten largest employers, you can see those companies behind me, it's the only company in the top ten that's announced a specific plan to raise wages for its employees. all these employers each have over 300,000 workers globally. that means not all of those workers are in the united states, but walmart is so big with 2 million employees it's multiple times bigger than any other company in this top ten. many of these top ten firms issued statements about the new tax law. generally those are filled with overall comments and not a concrete plan to raise wages like walmart has but some other large companies that have fallen just outside of this top ten, they have announced significant wage hikes. for example, take a look at at&t, they're one of many larger companies. at&t announced it would give a special $1 is,000 bonus to 200,000 u.s. employees wells fargo said it would wage its minimum wage to $15 an hour. see them right

our erik chemi is in orlando braving sub 41-degree temperatures with that story eric >> reporter: that's, jon it's all relative, right for orlando 45 degrees, that's as low as they ever really see it there's freeze temperature warnings and schools are being closed and universities are having a closure issue as well and the water theme parks like aquatico behind me, you can see they are closed for the day so there's nobody coming through the parking lot. they are just closed can't even get in, and if you can make zoom all the way behind me you see the water slides. today is not the day when it's 45 degrees and freezing cold and raining to let kids in for that. the other water parks in town that are owned by universal and disney, they are closed as well, but the real theme parks are open, so if you see behind me that's the regular seaworld. they are open right now. the same thing with the regular universal theme park, the regular disney world so it's going to be some small impact to the corporate earnings, but these are global companies just having a few days closed in orlando won't be a b
