Costco to raise minimum wage to $16 per hour |
2021-02-27 |
[Fox Business] Costco will raise its minimum wage to $16 an hour starting next week, CEO Craig Jelinek said during a Senate Budget Committee hearing on Thursday. The $16 an hour boost puts its starting wages above Target's and Amazon's. Target implemented a $15 per hour minimum wage in July, while Amazon raised its minimum wage to $15 in 2018. Walmart's starting wage is $11 per hour. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., chaired the Senate Budget Committee hearing, titled "Should Taxpayers Subsidize Poverty Wages at Large Profitable Corporations?" He said he invited Walmart CEO Doug McMillon to "Why should working people be subsidizing some of the wealthiest families and largest corporations in America because of the starvation wages they pay their workers How about we let the market decide, Bernie? Why should Walmart answer to you? |

#11 #10, Yes, already here. Nearly daily price increases on everything and stock outs. When Carter was in office I would give a quote that was only good for 24 hours. |

#1 And if you believe they are not going to pass that cost of doing business on to their shoppers, I got a nice abandoned gold mine you might want to invest in too. |
