To help attract and retain more workers in a competitive market, the White Earth Nation and the Shooting Star Casino in northwestern Minnesota are boosting their minimum wage to $16 an hour.
The new starting wage, which includes hourly wages and tips, takes effect later this month. It is a considerable boost for the casino s tipped employees, who previously started around $8 an hour, as well as non-tipped employees for whom the entry-level wages were around $10 to $11 an hour.
