Top 5 companies where they pay the highest minimum wage
In the United States, there has been a tendency to increase the minimum wage. A number of large companies open their reports and show that they have increased their salaries, writes Fox business.
So, in the reporting of the company Target, it is clear that the average minimum salary in June increased to $ 13 per hour, and it is planned to increase it to $ 2020 by 15 year.
“Retailers have always had a hard time finding good employees. Smart employers understand that it's not just about finding good employees, it's about keeping them. The goal of raising the minimum wage is a win for everyone. Companies are taking the initiative to do what the government doesn't want and pay their workers fairly,” said Bob Phibbs, CEO of New York-based consultancy The Retail Doctor.
FOX Business collected the top 5 of large companies that raised the minimum wage for the past year.
