It’s the latest retailer to sweeten compensation amid a hiring crunch.
Walgreens Boots Alliance will boost the starting wage for its U.S. employees to $15 an hour, becoming the latest retailer to sweeten compensation amid a hiring crunch. The company will start gradually increasing pay in October and expects to fully implement the new rate by November 2022. The Deerfield, Illinois-based company operates about 9,000 drugstores across the U.S. California’s minimum wage rises to $15 hourly for larger companies in January.
