Not everyone is in pearl-clutching mode.
U.S. retailers raise minimum wage ahead of schedule. (Baltimore Sun, 7/5/2014)
Benefits of raising the minimum wage. Gap Inc. brands — Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Piperlime, Athleta and Intermix — are among a growing group of major U.S. retailers now paying more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour for entry-level employees. Others include Ben & Jerry's, Costco, Ikea and Whole Foods. Paying workers more reduces turnover and hiring costs, the businesses say, because it makes for happier employees who stay longer and better serve customers.
