T-Mobile joins corporations paying at least $20 an hour

T-Mobile is now paying all of its 75,000 workers a minimum wage of $20 an hour, the wireless carrier said Friday.


The company's new nationwide minimum wage "is about inclusion, and we wanted to draw a line that ensures no employee is left behind," CEO Mike Sievert wrote in a blog post announcing the move.

T-Mobile's news coincides with data from the Labor Department showing the diminished value of pay to workers faced with the biggest jump in inflation in nearly four decades.
