Just recently the #DoDSkillBridge Program revised their MOU https://lnkd.in/eq-Crhrp to set the minimum wage of $25 per hour or $52K per year. This isn't fair for companies (especially supporting blue collar trades) in wage markets that geographically don't have a high cost of living.
In 2023, the median annual wage for all U.S. workers was $48,060, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which means Americans in around half the states earned less than that benchmark, while workers in the other half earned more.

The Northeast and Western regions tend to have higher-earning populations compared with the South and some states in the Midwest.
Massachusetts tops the rankings with the highest median wage of $60,690 for individual workers, while Mississippi has the lowest median wage in the country at $37,500.

We started Enrollment Alliance because making a commission on worksite products felt unethical.
We're passionate about finding alternative ways to incentivize people.
How? Instead of incentivizing the individual, incentivize the team!
When you create an employee-centric experience you provide genuine attention and care to their needs. The enrollment process should be completed with ease, and not be treated like another employee assignment.
Business owners, how do you incentivize your team?
