Target to raise its minimum wage to $9 an hour
Target Corp. is the latest business to say it will raise the minimum wage for hourly workers to at least $9 an hour, following in the footsteps of Wal-Mart and the parent company of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls.
"We make sure we're competitive in every marketplace in which we do business," Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder told the Star Tribune. "As part of that, we regularly and continually evaluate the marketplace to make sure our wages are competitive." Snyder also said that pay raises as part of a merit process usually happen in the spring.
