The ongoing economic dispute between Greece and the rest of the Eurogroup, led by Germany, continued to make headlines this week and potentially reached a conclusion on Friday, according the Bloomberg News.
The tech industry also controlled much of the news with Pinterest, Snapchat and Facebook all making headlines throughout the week. Undoubtedly, the week’s biggest news came on Thursday with Wal-Mart’s announcement that the Arkansas-based company would raise its minimum wage to $9.00 per hour for entry-level employees.
