T-Mobile raises minimum wage to $20 an hour amid labor crunch [View all]

T-Mobile US Inc. (Nasdaq: TMUS) has raised its minimum wage to $20 per hour, following a trend of large corporations raising base pay to counter labor shortages.

The policy shift will cover the Bellevue-based company's U.S. employees, though a "vast majority of our employees already earn well above this level, especially when including incentive pay," CEO Mike Sievert said in a blog post last week announcing the move.

"But this move is about inclusion, and we wanted to draw a line that ensures no employee is left behind," he said.

T-Mobile has 75,000 employees companywide with over 8,000 in Washington.
