The hourly salary of Starbucks' latest job in the United States, how much does Starbucks raise? Starbucks raises wages for American employees by 10%

Starbucks proposed another pay rise.

Unfortunately, the salary increase plan has been perfectly missed by China's Starbucks partners (envied by China's Starbucks partners). The pay increase is still aimed only at Starbucks partners in the United States. On October 23rd Starbucks announced a pay rise. Starbucks said it would raise wages for Starbucks partners from late January 2022 until the new hourly rate in the summer of 2022. In addition, by next summer, the hourly wage of Starbucks partners nationwide will be raised to $15-$23 an hour, and the average wage will rise to nearly $17 an hour, compared with the current average hourly wage of $14. Starbucks proposed a pay rise because of labor shortages. Starbucks hopes to attract more employees through wage increases in order to solve the problem of severe labor shortage in the United States, while retaining existing employees. In addition to the raise, Starbucks offers a $200 referral bonus to increase recruiters in all U. S. markets to attract more talent. Rosen Williams, president of Starbucks North America, said a pay rise would reward partners and attract more people to solve Starbucks' labor shortage. Starbucks also points out that it has spent more than $1 billion on raising wages and benefits over the past two years.

In August this year, Starbucks also proposed a "salary increase" decision to deal with the labor shortage in the US catering industry. Starbucks said: from partners hired before July this year by 5%, lifetime partners by 6%, the minimum hourly wage in all US markets will be raised to at least $12, and in some markets will rise to more than $15. In December last year, Starbucks also proposed a "salary increase" plan, which was also called "the largest salary investment in Starbucks's history". At that time, many partners also expressed their excitement on Twitter.

Of course, the pay adjustment is only for the United States, not for Chinese partners. As for the intention of "salary increase", Starbucks naturally wants to attract and retain employees. The "salary increase" plan includes: starting from December 14, 20, baristas, shift supervisors and cafe waiters who start their jobs before September 24 will receive at least a 10% raise, and starting salaries for new employees will be increased by 5%. Partners who have worked at Starbucks for three years or more will receive at least an 11% pay rise. in addition, the company has also raised salaries in various markets. Over the past two years, Starbucks has made three pay adjustments to the United States to varying degrees. To sum up, are Starbucks' salary and benefits increases of more than $1 billion spent on the American market?

It is worth mentioning that many American companies have been hit hard since the 2020 epidemic, and global supply and labor shortages have long been thorny issues in the US market. Starbucks has also faced employees in New York who want to defend their work rights by unionizing, including protesting that Starbucks is chronically understaffed. On this issue, Starbucks does not think that trade unions are necessary, but will respect workers' right to organize. Starbucks points out that the decision to raise wages and improve working conditions is not a response to workers' attempts to unionize. Now hit by the epidemic, labor shortage has become a major problem in the United States market. As Starbucks' largest coffee retailer, if there is a shortage of manpower for a long time, it will undoubtedly lead to great losses for Starbucks. At present, the shortage of labor market in the United States is still serious, how to retain existing employees and attract new employees has become the focus of many American companies. It will take more time to verify whether Starbucks can fundamentally solve the labor market shortage by raising wages to attract more talent. * Photo Source: for more information about coffee beans on the Internet, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style) for professional coffee knowledge exchange.
