With the federal minimum wage getting a raise to keep up with inflation, working for the Canadian government may get a little more attractive for those looking to make ends meet.
Ontario announced Friday that its minimum wage will increase on Oct. 1 to $16.55. Here is a list of the minimum wages in other jurisdictions across the country as of the same date.
The minimum wage in Quebec is going up by one dollar. As of May 1, the lowest-paid workers in the province will make at least $15.25 an hour. That means around $2,000 more annual pay for minimum wage workers who are on the clock for 40 hours a week. The move also impacts employees who receive tips, boosting their base pay by 80 cents to $12.20.
