    The B.C. Federation of Labour (backed by the Centre for Policy Alternatives and most British Columbians) is pushing for $10 an hour. But the Fraser Institute (those protectors of the rich) want the gov't to keep it at $8. An aside: just one person in 16 earns minimum wage.

    My guess is that if minimum wage goes up, it'll likely go just to $9. And it'll happen at the end of this spring's Legislature sitting. So this summer you might be getting $9 an hour.

    For a sparkling worker, the minimum salary is easily $6.00 (the Libs call it a 'coaching salary'). The salary is going as much as $8.00 after a optimal of 500 hours. in case you have already got a working history this is even remotely on the subject count of the marketplace you're in, they might desire to take your previous history under consideration
