Wage increase matching B.C.’s 2022 average inflation rate will benefit about 150,000 workers
British Columbia’s minimum wage will increase to $16.75 an hour, a boost that the government says would fulfill a promise to tie the benchmark pay level to inflation.
“These workers and their families feel the impacts of high costs much more than anyone else,” he said in a news release. B.C.’s current minimum wage is the third-highest in the country, behind Yukon’s $15.70 and Nunavut’s $16. Famulak said the new minimum wage, the introduction of mandatory five-days paid sick leave and a new statutory holiday may discourage business investment in B.C.
