Bank of America is giving its lowest-paid workers a bump in pay to $22 an hour, which comes out to $46,000 a year for full-time employees.

The Charlotte, N.C.-based company’s wage increase is part of a series of hikes that began with the bank increasing the minimum to $15 an hour in 2017, $17 an hour in 2019 and $19 an hour in 2021, according to CBS News.

But the company does not plan to stop there.

The bank announced that it plans to gradually increase its minimum wage to $25 an hour by 2025.

According to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the median earnings for all American workers 15 years and older was $41,535.

Among full-time employees, the median earnings were $61,417 for men and $50,982 for women, according to the Census, which cited 2020 data.

Bank of America’s move comes at a time when many companies are vying for employees by offering them fatter paychecks in a tight labor market and rising inflation.
