Alberta’s minimum wage is staying steady at $8.80 for 2010.
The government made the decision in an effort to protect jobs during this tough economic time.
“This decision reflects what government feels will both protect jobs during these uncertain economic times and support the economy,” said Thomas Lukaszuk, Minister of Employment and Immigration. “In addition to freezing the minimum wage, I will also request an all-party committee review of our current policy, ensuring that our approach is what’s best for Albertans.”
Currently our provinces’s minimum wage ranks sixth among all provinces with the hourly pay ranging from $8.00 in B.C. to $9.50 in Ontario.
