Raising The Minimum Wage: Walmart case study in 2011 done by UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education

What if Walmart put in place a $12 per hour minimum wage for all its hourly employees in the U.S.?

In fact, payroll data from 2001 suggests that there is a good deal of variation in hourly wages by gender, race and job title. As shown in Table 3 (page 5), adjusted for current income, workers currently earning below $9 an hour would receive a 37 percent wage increase on average, depending on the number of hours worked.

The 46 cent increase amounts to a 1.1 percent increase in prices. For the average shopper, this would result in a price increase of $12.49 a year.
