Walmart's starting wages for U.S. workers range between $14 and $19 an hour.
NEW YORK — Walmart is offering new perks for its hourly U.S. workers, ranging from a new bonus plan to opportunities to move into skilled trade jobs within the company.
For example, a full-time worker who's been with Walmart between one year and almost five years can earn a maximum bonus of $350 per year, while a 20-year full-time worker can earn a maximum bonus of $1,000, Walmart said. The plan will be available to 700,000 U.S. workers, the company said. The jobs pay between $19 and $45 per hour, and workers will be paid during the training, the company said. Walmart's average hourly wage is close to $18, an increase of 30% over the past five years. Walmart's starting wages for U.S. workers range between $14 and $19 an hour.
Households with incomes exceeding $100,000 have been drawn to the retailer as it upgrades the quality of its items and focuses on providing more convenient ways to shop. Two-thirds of Walmart's market share gains across the aisles are coming from that group, Walmart said. Walmart spokeswoman Anne Hatfield said the trucker program has produced more than 500 new drivers since launching in the spring of 2022. That's helped the company navigate an industrywide shortage of truck drivers.Meanwhile, Walmart said Wednesday it is expanded the number of skills certificates available to help fast-track front-line workers into about 100,000 jobs that are higher paying and in demand at the company over the next three years.
