The minimum wage in Alberta is $7.00/hr. But I don't know one person that makes that. Timmy Hortons pays over $12.00/hr.
One restaurant opened up, called Avacado Mexican. There wasn't many applications. They offered people over $20.00 hr. plus $500.00 if you stay 3 months, and a trip to Mexico if you stay one year full time.
Crazy, the labour shortage is getting beyond control, and the baby boomers are just starting to retire.
