Walmart's minimum wage will go up in February because of new tax plan

Walmart is raising its minimum wage and handing out tax cut bonuses because of the new Republican tax law.

The retail company said the wage hike to $11 an hour would roll out in February. Employees are also getting a one-time bonus of up to $1,000.


Walmart (WMT) previously raised its minimum pay for most employees to $10 an hour in 2015. As of December, the average pay for full-time workers was $13 an hour.

"Today, we are building on investments we've been making in associates, in their wages and skills development," Walmart president and CEO Doug McMillon said in a news release. "It's our people who make the difference and we appreciate how they work hard to make every day easier for busy families."

He added that "tax reform gives us the opportunity to be more competitive globally and to accelerate plans for the U.S."

 

[Pogo]

I'm trying to remember the last time I actually worked for $11 an hour. Probably the 1980s....

I'm sure they would be happier if the government had that money.

This is as stupid as Dan Quayle saying that a help wanted sign in the door of a Burger King was "proof" that the economy was "recovering."

So much winning.

OMG , you progressives are too much.

I wouldn't work for $11 an hour either, but to Wal Mart employees an $11 an hour minimum wage probably feels like manna from heaven. And obviously it is a DIRECT result of the tax plan recently signed into law by your President Trump.

They have been having problems for a couple years. The CEO resigned a few days ago.

Yep. When you lay off thousands and close tons of stores, it’s no problem at all to pay your laves a couple cents an hour more.

I wonder, does Wal-Mart still train employees on how to get food stamps and other services to make up for their dismal wages?

The economy is booming and the left is having a meltdown. Looks like some people are angry that many people are getting a better deal in life. Go figure.

Thousands of people get laid off every day and thousands get hired every day. Means absolutely nothing.

They'll go look for another job. Wells fargo is closing banks. Ford laid off 10% of it's work force last summer. Things change. Jobs close, jobs open. That's the way the world goes round, always has, always will.

No shit Sherlock.

I reported on Mal-Wart's layoffs, complementing what another poster noted about stores closing.
Is the information true or is it not?

Actually my link stating "more than 1000" may be understating. Not sure if it's part of Mick's link or separate, but his link notes "The company would not provide a list of the specific locations that will be closed or the number of employees that would be impacted, but public filings examined by USA TODAY revealed that at least 3,802 workers will be affected".

Yes, the information is true, but it's meaningless. I understand some people want us all to wring our hands and cast disparaging remarks about how bad this is and blame republicans and Trump, but like I said, it's the way things work. Jobs close, jobs open. Anything else, Dr. Watson.

I posted nothing "disparaging"; nor did I mention any political parties or people. I simply reported a fact. It would appear the only hand-wringing is in your hands.
