I was wondering yesterday the news reported that British Columbia has the lowest minimum wage in Canada. This got me pissed but then they said that some States have a minimum wage as low as 5$. Starting wages here in BC are usually about 8.75$. Our currency is also on parity with the US dollar.

So I was wondering how bad we actually have it, being the lowest minimum wage in Canada it is alittle angering for me. But then I think their are people in other countries living off of a dollar a day.

So whats the minimum wage in your province, country , state? Is it higher or lower then 8$?

I think it's $7.25 or $7.15 here in NC. I don't really know, kind of avoided getting a minimum wage job ;_;

$7.25 federal

Some states have a lower minium wage but it's irrelevent as National supercedes state.

minimum wage? different place have different policy and different level, because different states has different economy status.

£5.93 - the main rate for workers aged 21 and over
£4.92 - the 18-20 rate
£3.64 - the 16-17 rate for workers above school leaving age but under 18
£2.50 - the apprentice rate, for apprentices under 19 or 19 or over and in the first year of their apprenticeship

in puerto rico 7.25$.

This, it's a bit misleading for a news organization to talk about our state set minimum wage as opposed to the national one.

$54 pesos = $4.48 dlls this year in Mexico.

$7.25 up in New York state. It blows.

In the U.K our adult minimum wage (21 plus) is £5.93 ($9.49).
