From Walmart Corporate Blog:

We’ve got some really good news to share today. As you know, the President and Congress have approved a lower business tax rate. Given these changes, we have an opportunity to accelerate a few pieces of our investment plan. We plan to continue investing in you, in our customers through lower prices, and in our future--especially in technology to help improve your jobs and the experience for our customers.

So, we’re pleased to tell you that we’re raising our starting wage to $11 an hour for Walmart U.S., Sam’s Club, Supply Chain, eCommerce and Home Office hourly associates effective in February.

When a company freely chooses to up their wages, that’s good news for their employees.

When the federal government unconstitutionally forces minimum wage on America, that is BAD NEWS for all of us.

The number of American workers that are going to realize that the tax cut is good for them will continue to grow.
