Bank of America to raise its minimum wage to $25 an hour by 2025
Bank of America plans to set the minimum wage for all positions at the company to $25 an hour by 2025. It would be the highest minimum wage paid by a big bank and could pressure rivals to follow suit. Wages have been rising at major banks in recent years amid pressure from outside groups to address wealth inequality. The bank will also mandate that vendors it does business with pay their employees at least $15 an hour. The bank says 99 percent of its vendors are already in compliance at that level. Bank of America raised its minimum wage to $15 an hour in 2017, to $17 an hour in 2019, and to $20 an hour last year, all under CEO Brian Moynihan. The bank, based in Charlotte, N.C., has more than 210,000 employees. â ASSOCIATED PRESS
