By thinking and investing strategically, Premier Blaine Higgs and his cabinet have the power to set in motion changes that will benefit New Brunswick. However, there are number of concerning trends converging at the national, provincial, and local levels.
Nova Scotia’s Minimum Wage Review Committee says the province should speed up its timeline for reaching a $15-per-hour minimum wage.
Among the group’s asks are increasing the minimum wage to a “living wage” of $20 per hour and mandating 10 employer-paid sick days per year.
David Campbell has always been uncomfortable with folks who “crap on jobs” they don’t find appealing.
A new study claims that a person must make $23.50 to live comfortably in Halifax. In other areas of the province, the living wage ranges from $20.00-$22.55 per hour. All regions saw a jump between five to eight percent over the last year.
The minimum wage went up on April 1st to $12.75 per hour, an increase of a dollar with another one-dollar increase is planned for October of this year.
While the New Brunswick government will provide financial relief to early childhood educators to offset the cost of the $1.00/per hour minimum wage increase coming next month, a large group of operators say they’ve been left out of the money.
The report will look at the cost of paying every employee at least $15 an hour by April of 2023 and a “living wage” by April 2024.
The Government of Nova Scotia has accepted a series of recommendations that will grow the province’s minimum wage to $15 an hour and guarantee minimum wage rises faster than inflation.
