Walmart is raising its minimum wage to $11 and expanding benefits in the wake of US tax reform. The bump, which begins next month, comes on top of wage increases already planned. Employees will also see expanded maternity and parental leave benefits, and some eligible workers will get a one-time $1,000 bonus. Other companies — including JetBlue, Waste Management, and Bank of America — have made similar announcements since the December passage of the $1.5 trillion tax overhaul.
