Major Companies Hiring Right Now That Pay $15 Per Hour Or More

As the number of coronavirus cases drop in the U.S., businesses are relaxing their safety restrictions and many consumers are spending freely again. As a result, 22 Republican states have decided to end the federal $300-a-week unemployment benefit in June. While it is likely that more states, both Republican and Democrat, could move to end their unemployment benefits before the intended Sept. 6 end date, there is still some good news for entry-level workers. Many of the largest companies in the U.S. are currently hiring tens of thousands of workers and paying $15 or more.
