Target says it will raise its minimum wage for employees to $15 up from $13 starting July 5, a few months ahead of a deadline it set three years ago

The retailer had made a pledge in 2017 to increase wages to $15 an hour by December 2020. The company said Wednesday that the new minimum wage applies to 275,000 part-time and full-time employees at its discount stores, distribution centers and its headquarters.A tight labor market before the pandemic had prompted major retailers including Walmart and Amazon to announce wage hikes. The federal minimum wage is $7.25, and it hasn't increased in over a decade.

5 million workers in the United States, currently offers a minimum wage of $11 an hour.Target last increased its minimum wage to $13 from $11 in June 2019. But the retailer already pays more in some markets that have implemented their own $15 an hour wage laws. In New York City and San Francisco, for example, Target's starting hourly wages are $15 and $15.75, respectively.

Target raises minimum wage to $15 an hour months before its deadlineTarget employees will also receive a one-time bonus of $200 to recognize their work during the coronavirus pandemic. After that, Indian's will never trust Chines. After that, the worldwide never trust to China. So all the people who continued to work at target got screwed as well, as a 40 hour week at $15 is = to the $600 ui bonus that was given (excluding tax.) That $200 bonus though can be used at target to buy groceries for a week lol.
