In 2017, Target was among the first businesses to declare that it would pay its retail workers a minimum of $15 an hour. The goal was to boost the starting wage by 2020. After that, other stores also raised their starting pay. For instance, Best Buy and Amazon now offer at least $15 per hour,
while Costco has a starting wage of $17 per hour. Now, Target is once again planning to raise the starting wage for its employees. This time they are outdoing their rivals by saying they will pay up to $24 an hour. However, not every retail worker will automatically get this increase in salary. The new starting wage will vary based on the market and specific job roles. Target hasn’t revealed which markets or positions will see this pay rise
