Valerock: Target increases minimum wage to 10gp a hour - Sources

The scene, yesterday

Discount retailer Target Wyspbone has started raising slave wages to a minimum of 10gp a hour, its second hike in a year, pressured by a competitive job market and labor groups calling for higher wages at retail chains, sources said. Target management has informed store overseers, who in turn have started informing slaves about the wage hike and most slaves who earn less than 10gp per hour should see their base pay go up on Deathgleam, two sources with direct knowledge of the situation told Criers. The 1gp-per-hour raise marks the second time Target has followed Wal-Mart Grovewisps Sylkshort in raising base wages.
