The approaching holiday season means more shopping, and as a result, more jobs in retail.

For some retail employees, it will also mean higher wages. Target announced today that it would raise its minimum wage above $10 beginning in October, eventually reaching $11 per hour for all U.S. stores. The retailer has already promised to add 100,000 jobs in the coming months and has committed to raising minimum wage to $15 by 2020.

Though many of these jobs may be temporary, they provide experience as well as a source of income, and knowing how major stores compare in terms of hourly pay could help you if you're in the market for a job.

Using Fortune's list of the 20 retailers with the greatest number of employees in the U.S., CNBC Make It looked at average hourly wages for the position of "sales associate" — a common consumer-facing, non-managerial role — at each company. Hourly wages were determined using data submitted by employees to jobs and salary platform Glassdoor, and each company on the list was also contacted to provide information or comment.

1. The cost of living is rising faster than salaries.

Most people working at theses places have to work two jobs (often single mothers are the worse off). I didn't get a salary increase for over 5 years as a teacher...when you do the math and figure in inflation and COLA that is a big pay CUT! And this was WITH a union! We were told to be grateful we had jobs by the district. Meanwhile we spent thousands out of pocket for school supplies and worked an average of 50+ hours per week.

2. I was a teacher too. Same story from our district. I have a pension..

The union years ago, factored in a cost of living adjustment for those on a pension..I am very grateful for that because that cost of living adjustment has kept me solvent.
