After a week of major layoff announcements from Amazon, UPS, Pinterest, and Nike, at least some American workers got some welcome news on Thursday: Walmart is promoting 3,000 of its pharmacy workers across nearly 4,600 U.S. locations, and some will have much higher earning potential.
The world’s largest retailer and top Fortune 500 company has promoted these workers to pharmacy operations team lead positions that pay an average of $28 per hour, with the potential to earn up to $42 per hour. Pharmacy technicians now make an average of $22 per hour, and can earn up to $40.50 per hour.
