Major employer minimum wage hikes lead to widespread wage increases.
Major employers like Amazon, Walmart, and Target raising their minimum wages has led to other companies increasing their wages too. This means that when big companies pay their workers more, it can influence wages across the board. The wage increases were not huge, but they did happen. However, this also led to a small decrease in job opportunities. This shows that when big companies set higher minimum wages, it can affect how much everyone gets paid, but it might also impact how many jobs are available.
