EXACTLY!! This is precisely the effect of putting artificial wage and payroll pressures on companies through mandatory $15 minimum wage. Get used to it, jacking up the minimum wage will only make it worse.
Alberta had (and will have more) minimum wage hikes. I'm on the board of my golf course and we eliminated the equivalent of one full time position in the restaurant. Unfortunately really, as the staff was well paid with tips and didn't really need the increase
It already is market driven.
Simply changing one variable in the form of min wage won't stop the entire market from adjusting in one form or another
Is it the employer's obligation to pay wages that will afford a home OR is it the vendor's obligation to set the price at what the wage slave can afford?
Need yes, wants no. You want something go work for it like the rest of us.
Not sure about the tens of thousands but basically correct. OTH making loans too easy is not helping people that are borderline able to afford it. Worse it will cause distress sales which are not good for any market since it usually winds up with someone with money grabbing them.
Building codes and various bylaws have a negative effect on affordable housing as does limiting available land. Farmland should not be considered available for housing purposes.
The biggest problem with that is "society" is comprised of many segments, a lot of them contentious, so how are we to sort out who's responsible for what w/o causing a major Donnybrook?
THAT should definitely change!
I think you just hit on the assininity of Gov't adjusting minimum wages.
Eenie, meany, miney, moe works for me.
That can be manipulated to provide a favourable result. So can rock, paper, scissors actually. It might be better to build robots to deal all this. They can be cold and impartial.
The low wage worker can be had by the desire to eat, building this condition is uppwer management thinkin.
Yep, it's pretty hard to get away with $10 an hour when every one the province is working for $16 to $18 or more!
A wee bit but much more functional & in a little better neighbourhood.
Not sure, I spell it "l-o-s-e" same as I was taught in school. I really doubt if it's any more irritating than being asked about Sandy Hook 15 times or going on ad infinitum about your obsession with 14 year olds or your incessant attempts at trying to out do Putz's ignorance and Stupidity!
I doubt if Port Hardy has been the same since that mine at Coal Harbour closed! Tahsis was booming back in the 60s when we surveyed for the new highway that never materialized. Lots of money pissed against the wall on that undertaking. I guess we proved it couldn't be done for a song.
