B.C.’s minimum wage to go up to $16.75 on June 1
A prominent Canadian economist is defending the upcoming hike in B.C.’s minimum wage, set to increase by $1.10 to $16.75 on June 1.
“The inflation we are experiencing now in B.C. is driven by profits, not wages,” Stanford said. “It is unfair to expect the most vulnerable workers to give up some of their non-discretionary income because of record high inflation. By ensuring fairer compensation for our lowest-paid workers, we will reduce inequality and foster a more inclusive society.”
