The Alberta government is raising their hourly minimum wage today from $9.95 to $10.20.
This is the first time since 2011 that Alberta has not been the province with the lowest minimum wage. They have, however, raised minimum wage every September 1 since 2011, though only by a few cents each time. Liquor servers will now make a minimum of $9.20 per hour and salespeople will make a minimum of $406 per week.
Currently tied for the lowest minimum wage in Canada are New Brunswick and Newfoundland/Labrador at $10.00. In contrast, Ontario and Nunavut both have the nation's highest hourly minimum wage at $11.00.
Since May 1, 2012, British Columbia's minimum wage has been $10.25. Our minimum for liquor servers, however, is $9.00 per hour.
