Gap raises its minimum wage, Walmart waits for D.C.



While Washington D.C. bickers, the Gap (GPS) effectively raised its own minimum wage to $10 an hour. The company says the wage increase will impact 65,000 of its 90,000 employees in the U.S. and will be phased in over the next two years.


Critics will say Walmart is weaseling out of the minimum wage debate because it saves the company millions of dollars a year.

It has nothing to do with "Free Market".

It has all to do with pure greed on the part of Walmart.

They got the "weasel" part right in the article.
