Kroger is the latest retailer to spend big on employee wages as the job market tightens

• Kroger is spending $770 million more this year on wages and benefits for workers. 
• It's funding the increase with cost savings, in part from the use of technology, its CFO said.
• Walmart and Home Depot have also recently upped wage spending as US unemployment remains low.
