The Northwest Territories government says it plans to increase the minimum wage by almost 5.6 per cent to reflect an increase in the consumer price index.
The Northwest Territories last increased its minimum wage by $1.74 in September 2021, when it had been unchanged since April 2018.
This is the first time it is using a new formula based on the percentage change in the consumer price index for Yellowknife and the percentage change in the average hourly wage in the territory for the preceding calendar year.
