More than half a million workers at one US employer are getting a pay raise later this month. The plan from Walmart to raise wages for more than 565,000 workers -- out of more than 1.6 million that it employs in the US -- will start on September 25. That's according to Walmart's US CEO John Furner, who announced the news of the hike that will impact employees working in departments such as food and general merchandise, in a staff memo on Thursday.
His memo, according to CNBC, also noted that this is the third such investment in higher salaries the company has made over the past year. And that Walmart's average US salary now stands at $16.40.
