How Large Corporations Are Responding to the U.S. Labor Shortage – Daily Flash Briefing

May 19, 2021 by Bautis Financial
McDonald's Surge in Wages in Response to Labor Crisis

The United States labor shortage is prompting big-name corporations to increase wages and add incentives to open roles.

Despite an increase in vaccinations and easing COVID-19 restrictions, the U.S. is experiencing a labor crunch that’s prompting many big-name retailers and corporations to increase wages and add lucrative incentives in a bid to attract much-needed workers. Here are some highlights.

  • Amazon revealed it would be hiring 75,000 employees across its fulfillment and transportation sectors, with average compensation starting at over $17 per hour.
  • Bank of America announced Tuesday it was increasing its minimum wage to $26 an hour by 2025, according to their Chief Executive Officer (Brian Moynihan).
  • McDonald’s recently announced that it will raise hourly wages by an average of 10% for more than 36,500 employees at more than 660 U.S. restaurants.
  • Chipotle said it would lift the average hourly wage for its restaurant workers to $15 an hour, in addition to offering employee referral bonuses of $200 for restaurant workers and $750 for general managers.

Despite the hiking wages in these — and many other — companies, the U.S. Congress continues to fight over a $15 per hour federal minimum wage.
