Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is challenging his rivals to boost their minimum wage. Here's how entry-level pay at Costco, Walmart, and Target compare.
"Today I challenge our top retail competitors to match our employee benefits and our $15 minimum wage," Bezos wrote in Amazon's annual letter to shareholders on Thursday.
"Do it! Better yet, go to $16 and throw the gauntlet back at us," he continued."It's a kind of competition that will benefit everyone."And, while the federal minimum wage remains $7.25 per hour, many other retailers are similarly raising pay.
