Target announced today that it will be raising its minimum wage for employees to $15 an hour up from $13 starting July 5th, 5 months ahead of a deadline it set for itself in 2017. The new minimum wage applies to 275,000 part-time and full-time employees at its discount stores, distribution centers and its headquarters.
The new $15 minimum wage now puts Target on par with Amazon and well ahead of its key rival Walmart.
