    Default Minimum wage increase to $9.40

    From $8.80 to $9.40 per hour.

    In Alberta starting Sept 1st, for the 1.2% of the Alberta population that is at minimum wage.

    My suggestion: Get paid in pre-1981 nickels, no jokes.
    Cocoa $10,000 per tonne.

    It's actually two-tier.

    So I went from 8.80 to 9.05

    an hourly minimum wage of $9.40 for most employees;

    an hourly minimum wage of $9.05 for employees serving liquor as part of their regular job;

    This is a major reason why so many young people are unemployed.

    I suppose this means retail & food/beverage price hikes are on the way... which usually accompanies a minimum wage increase.

    Out here in BC, the minimum is going to $9.50 on November 1st and then $10.25 on May 1, 2012.
