My bank just raised its across-the-board minimum wage to $15, if that information corroborates or make a difference in either way. Worth sharing. It's an interesting move

I'm starting to think maybe it has to do with unemployment dropping and there being a shortage of good workers now. If the demand is high and supply is low, pay more. That, or it could be like the guy said in the article I linked, where companies are trying to get ahead of the change in pay rates in many states. It's definitely good news for you and your peers either way.

BINGO. the 24 hour stores here are starting to close overnight because they cannot get enough people on the payroll to keep them open a third shift.
