Tabitha (pronounced /ËtÃ¦bÉ¨Î¸É/) is an English language feminine given name, derived from an Aramaic word that means gazelle. The name was most popular in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s, when it was ranked among the 200 most popular names for girls.
Costco (COST) earnings topped Wall Street estimates for the first time in five quarters Wednesday, but Costco stock has already discounted the good news â and then some. Costco earnings came in strong despite the drop in gas prices, thanks to robust back-to-school sales and an increase in membership fees.
Of course, The Container Store isn't the only major retail chain that professes a commitment to paying its workers a livable wage. At Costco, hourly workers make an average of more than $20 an hour â well above the national average of $11.39 for a retail sales worker â according to a 2013 Businessweek story. For employees who put in 40 hours per week, that works out to about $43,000 a year. In addition, Businessweek reports that 88% of Costco's 185,000 employees have company-sponsored healthcare. The Container Store uses its high salaries to lure and retain elite talent.
