WASHINGTON - Target Corp will raise its U.S. minimum wage to $13 an hour in June, from $12 currently, increasing its payroll costs and putting new pressure on rival Walmart Inc to attract retail workers in a tight labor market.
Target previously raised minimum hourly pay to $12 in March 2018 from $11. In 2017, Target, said it was committed to raising its minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2020. The wage increase will affect “tens of thousands” of employees, a Target spokeswoman said. Amazon.com Inc raised its minimum wage to $15 an hour in October after facing harsh criticism over poor pay and working conditions. The online retailer said at the time that it would lobby Washington for the federal minimum wage to be raised.
Amid the growing political pressure, other companies have also moved to raise wages. For example, Costco Wholesale Corp raised its minimum wage twice in a year and since March pays employees at least $15 an hour.
But Democrats told us this was impossible
$13.00/hr is a step in the right direction but give your employees more hours Target. 15-20 hours a week doesn't cut it for most.
By by jobs
Oh, a whole $13? How _generous_ of them.
