TL;DR
What else is work for if not to pay the bills #livingwage

[Ontario Living Wage Network 🇺🇦 @OnLivingwage]

@tea_b4g Our #livingwage rates are calculated as an hourly wage that a worker must earn in order to make ends meet where they live. We do not factor in gratuity in our calculations, or in our employer certification program.

Thank you for covering this important angle @RebeccaZandberg! #LivingWage

Minimum wage is going up. That's the good news. The bad news? It still doesn't come close to keeping up with inflation or the cost of living. More w/ @OnLivingwage's Craig Pickthorne at 7:10. #ldnont

Ontario's #MinimumWage rises to $16.55/hour on Oct. 1. This is a great step forward, but still falls short of #Toronto's living wage of $23.15 (@OnLivingWage). Food insecurity will lower only when the income + cost of living equation balances out. https://t.co/BVSJcXKl7T #onpoli

An increase in the minimum wage today from the Ontario Government is a good step. This is a great time to remind businesses to consider paying a living wage standard to their staff. You can find out details here if interested: https://t.co/WUGeJdnPCC #livingwage #onpoli

I checked in with TO restos that did away with tipping and upped the wages since the start of the pandemic. Staff tell me they can focus more on service and live in the city, higher retention rates, and new customers.

Never close early, serve food to 2 a.m., have a minimalist kitchen behind the bar, and be #Livingwage certified. Ottawa's Stolen Goods Cocktail Bar is just cool.

The jobs numbers are not all positive for @ccpa senior economist @DavidMacCdn: “We’re seeing continued strength on the hiring side. We’re NOT seeing strength in terms of workers’ ability to raise their wages at anywhere near the rate of inflation." #canlab https://t.co/EiNgcmZfH1
