Aldi, the family-owned discount supermarket chain, will raise its average hourly wage to $23 amid a hiring surge in anticipation of the upcoming holiday season.
In a Sept. 4 press release, Aldi announced that it will hire more than 13,000 store and warehouse associates as it prepares for one of the busiest times of the year in retail. The new and national average starting wages for Aldi employees will be “$18 and $23 per hour, respectively, based on market and position,” the chain specified.
