    Target seeks to entice workers with pay of up to $24 an hour.
    Associated Press (Center) • Factual Grade 74% • 3 min read

    Target said Monday that it will adopt minimum wages that range from $15 to $24 an hour, with the highest pay going to hires in the most competitive markets. The new starting wage range is part of a company plan to spend an additional $300 million on its labor force this year that will also include broader, faster access to health care coverage.
    ...
    Target set a new marker for the retail industry back in 2017 when it announced it would increase hourly wages to $15 by 2020. But U.S. labor-market dynamics have changed during the pandemic, with many employers facing severe worker shortages. And many of Target’s rivals are now paying a minimum of $15 per hour or more.
    ...
    Target noted that the turnover rate among its employees is now actually lower than before the pandemic. The retailer also said that it was able to exceed its goal of hiring 100,000 seasonal workers at its stores and 30,000 in its supply chain network across the country throughout the 2021 holiday season.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - It's terrifying enough that we have enough nukes to obliterate the world as do other countries. Mistakes are made and the more of these that we produce the greater chance of error. If we don't have enough with over 5,000 deterrents then we never will.


Yes - But not in total numbers. [...] The US has not pursued the development of very low yield tactical nuclear weapons. Of course they could decrease the payload and dial back the explosion from any missile they have...but its delivery system makes k...
