New Brunswick living wage rates rising at record rate: report
Rates are calculated using the Canadian Living Framework, which uses a reference family of four, with two working adults and two young children.
In the report, the authors state that demanding employers voluntarily pay a living wage is not a substitute for an increase to the minimum wage. However, advocates are worried about the significant gap between the minimum wage and the calculations of a living wage.According to Peter Jongeneelen, a co-chair of ACORN New Brunswick, even after a recent increase, New Brunswickers on minimum wage are struggling to make ends meet.
While timelines for future minimum wage increases have been released in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador, plans for New Brunswick’s next increase remain unknown.
