NS Minimum Wage Going Up

The province’s minimum wage will be going up by fifty cents to $15.70 an hour tomorrow.

The figure will go up again to $16.50 starting on October 1st.

The minimum wage is updated on April 1st of every year based on the consumer price index for the previous year, plus an extra one per cent.

The Labour Department says the second increase in October responds to concerns about the rising cost of living.
