Wages in grocery stores have increased here
Update: On Sunday, March 22, 2020, Sobeys announced pay increases for frontline workers in stores and distribution centres as well, to the tune of $50 a week, regardless of number of hours worked. Workers with 20 hours or more a week will get an extra $2 an hour. The increases are retroactive to March 8 and will be reassessed in late April.
So called 'hero' pay will be ongoing until at least May 8th but experts expect the raises to stay, as well as the extra safety measures.
A survey revealed 22% of Canadians intend to switch to online grocery shopping from now on. Instacart, serving 300 cities, is hiring 30K new employees to keep up with demand during the pandemic.
