Publix to Raise Worker Wages—Again

The retailer's third pay raise in a year comes amid unprecedented industry wage pressure and rapid new store growth.

The latest gift from the San Antonio retail philanthropist brings the total investment to more than $8 million in support of the network of CAST’s three schools.

Retailer "listened" to its critics and adds pressure to escalating industry wages.

Construction for the project, which will create 700 new jobs, is set to begin in late 2019.
