Walgreens announces hike to $15 per hour, following CVS’s lead

September 1, 2021

In efforts to attract more workers in a tight labor market — and in response to a similar decision by chief rival, CVS — Walgreens said it will increase its minimum pay for all workers to $15 per hour. The action will begin taking effect in October and will reportedly be rolled out over about a one-year period. CVS has committed to fully instituting its $15 per hour minimum by July of 2022.
