Curious what people's thoughts are on this.
As of June 1 2023 the min wage in BC has gone up 7% or 1.10 per hour to 16.75.
I get the cost of living and inflation is hard on everyone but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around some High school kid living at home with no expense is flipping burgers at McDonald's for almost 17 bucks an hour and I know my order will still be fcuked up.
IMO minimum. Wage jobs are what they are and are there for a reason. If you don't like it then better yourself.
To put it in to perspective Since 2015 minimum wage has gone up 60%.
The gap is shrinking to that next tier and it's not healthy nor do I believe its sustainable.
On the flip side, if you have kids living at home making minimum wage and not going to post secondary then they sure as hell can afford to pay room and board now!
With out telling me how old you are, what was did your first job pay?
7.50 per hour 1996
Enjoy those 10 dollar Big Macs1
