After many obstacles & challenges during the pandemic COVID-19, there is something positive for the Canadian people and the economy. It is a sudden rise in the minimum wages in British Columbia. This happens as Canada is facing immense difficulties and challenges especially while running small and medium-sized businesses. Minimum wages are just yet another assurance for the people. Especially, the ones working on an hourly basis and zero-hours contracts. Mainly, so that they are able to survive in challenging conditions that are being faced during the pandemic.
These are people from the services industry in Canada. Workers, who are employed on weekly contracts and are dependent on work for their daily survival. Paying the bills, home rentals, and taxes can never be easy. However, while workers are getting their salaries with decent rises in minimum wages, the situation looks far better. The province of British Columbia is an example of the rise in the minimum wages. Hence, as the majority of migrants coming to Canada and they start working on hourly wages. A huge majority are also coming every year to the glowing province B.C.
As part of the ways of compensation & continuing smooth operations during the pandemic COVID-19. This is according to the provincial Govt.’s promises of increasing the minimum wages. The previous stats clearly show that there has been no rise in minimum wages from 2001 -2011.
