(livestream screencap)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New Brunswick\u2019s minimum wage went up by one dollar on Saturday, to $13.75 per hour. It\u2019s the second increase this year, after another one dollar hike in April. The raise is a departure from the year before, in April 2021, when New Brunswick\u2019s minimum wage went up by just 5 cents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Janelle LeBlanc is provincial coordinator for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontnb.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Common Front for Social Justice <\/a>which runs campaigns around public services, pay equity, employment standards and social assistance. LeBlanc says that increase won\u2019t seem like much for workers, relative to increases in cost of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe government of New Brunswick has been saying this is a big increase, but if you consider inflation rates and the cost of living that skyrocketed this year, people are really, really struggling to make ends meet,\u201d says LeBlanc. \u201cThere&#8217;s more people in debt this year, more people using their credit cards to buy essential items. And according to the government&#8217;s stat, there are more people working minimum wage jobs. So that means there&#8217;s more people who are low income and having trouble making ends meet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.gnb.ca\/content\/gnb\/en\/departments\/post-secondary_education_training_and_labour\/news\/news_release.2021.12.0883.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">press release at the end of 2021,<\/a> the province said there were 15,500 people earning less than the then-minimum wage of $11.75, and another 30,000 people earning less than $13.75 per hour. The release also stated the $2 raise in 2022 represented a 17% hike, the largest increase to New Brunswick\u2019s minimum wage since 1980. Minister Trevor Holder called the increase \u201ccritically important\u201d and said it would \u201chelp improve the standard of living of our lower-wage earners and ensure we are competitive with our neighbouring provinces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1201px) 100vw, 1201px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GNB-min-wage-infographic-Dec-2021.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26654\" width=\"692\" height=\"595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GNB-min-wage-infographic-Dec-2021.png 1201w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GNB-min-wage-infographic-Dec-2021-768x661.png 768w\" \/><figcaption>GNB minimum wage infographic, December 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The raise on Saturday puts New Brunswick\u2019s minimum wage highest in the Maritimes for the time being, but both PEI and Nova Scotia have announced plans to further increase their minimum wages. PEI will hit $15 per hour after two more increases in January and October 2023. Nova Scotia will hit the $15 level a little later, by spring 2024. New Brunswick has announced no plans past the 2022 raise in minimum wage, instead saying it will revert to increases tied to the consumer price index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAny increase in minimum wage is obviously welcome,\u201d says LeBlanc, but the Common Front is calling for a more dramatic increase, to bring it up to the standard of a living wage<a href=\"https:\/\/sjhdc.ca\/living-wage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> as outlined by the Human Development Council.<\/a> In 2021, the HDC estimated a living wage for the Moncton area at $18.65 per hour, and it varied throughout the province going as low as $17.50 in Bathurst to $21.20 in Fredericton. LeBlanc says the Common Front is advocating for a $20 minimum wage, representing an average of living wages around the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-03-at-5.14.09-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26649\" width=\"578\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-03-at-5.14.09-PM.png 852w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-03-at-5.14.09-PM-768x629.png 768w\" \/><figcaption>Chart from Living Wages in New Brunswick 2021, Human Development Council.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leblanc says that with the current increase, the income of a full time minimum wage worker still puts them below the Low Income Measure, one threshold for measuring poverty used by Statistics Canada, which is calculated as 50% of median income.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Brunswick\u2019s minimum wage went up by one dollar on Saturday, to $13.75 per hour.
