JHMR boosts base pay for employees
Resort increases wages to help ease escalating cost of living
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — Jackson Hole Mountain Resort today announced today that it will increase its minimum wage for all non-tipped positions to $18 per hour, effective immediately.
The move marks a significant increase from the previous minimum wage of $15 per hour and is part of an ongoing initiative that prioritizes supporting JHMR staff to live and work in the community. The initiative is intended to recruit and attract new employees to the resort for this winter while continuing to help retain staff.
“We continue to invest in our employees, specifically with increased wages and housing opportunities, because we believe that providing additional means of support is imperative to retaining the fabric of this community as a whole,” JHMR president Mary Kate Buckley said. “This investment speaks to the value all of our employees provide to Jackson Hole and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.”
It is the second such increase in minimum wage pay in 2021, as the resort also implemented a cost of living increase for all employees earlier this year.
