I was SHOCKED to see the minimum wage for you Ontarians, $10.25!!! There are several US states with minimum wage less than half of that, how can Ontario afford to pay this insanely high amount to every worker?
Yes I know the American and Canadian dollar is not the same, but Canada's been catching up on us, and we're still down on our luck.
Don't be SHOCKED, they can afford that with the huge quantity of taxes and elevated %, even, if you check any item price between the 2 countrues or even services, like hydro, phone, cellphones, you will see the difference, you can't make an statement like that without knowing the situation, based only on the amount of $ paid by hour.
Not anymore. I have seen a lot of McJobs advertised for 10-12 dollars an hour.
The 80,000/year jobs for high school drop outs in haven't been easy to get in the last couple of years. They are out there, but the boom is long gone.
Plus that figure is probably a nothern rate with a lot of OT.
No, things are picking back up fast. There are companies all over the place looking for bodies. I was just offered multiple positions in the $18 + range, and turned them all down to go back into the oilfield
They wanted $10 minimum wage and they got it. And almost immediately that was no longer any good, and now it's supposed to be $14 or something. All this does is push up the price of many products and services -- yet Canadians want everything as CHEAP as possible because we're always expecting things to be like they are down in the States.
