The minimum wage in BC will increase to $10.25 on May 1, 2012. From $8 increase to $10.25 is a huge increase, so they did this step by step. On May 1, 2011 the minimum wages increase from $8 to $8.75. In November 1, 2011 it will increase from $8.75 to $9.00 and it will go up to $10.25 on May 1, 2012. The training wage was repealed. I think it is reasonable to increase the minimum wages but I think the government should have done this earlier and slower so people will be used to it. Lots of business owner is unhappy with this and they have to increase the prices for their product and the cut the hours of the employees. I think that it’s harder for people to look for jobs now since the minimum wages has increase everyone will be looking for the same jobs.
