What's Going On With Bank Of America Stock On Tuesday?

Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) shares are climbing as the company announces a bold wage hike, driving its minimum hourly rate to $24 and edging closer to a $25 goal by 2025.

“Providing a competitive minimum wage is core to being a great place to work — and I am proud that Bank of America is leading by example,” said Sheri Bronstein, chief human resources officer.

This increase will raise the minimum annual salary for full-time U.S. employees to almost $50,000 and applies to all full-time and part-time hourly roles.

This decision continues Bank of America’s tradition of leading the nation in setting minimum wage standards for U.S. hourly workers.

In the last seven years, Bank of America raised the minimum hourly wage from $15 to $24 in 2024. As a result, the starting salary for full-time U.S. employees will have increased by nearly $20,000 since 2017.
