'Living Wage' May Help to Reduce Poverty and Hunger in B.C First Nation Community
Tuesday, November 4, 2014 - 1:29am
A recent article posted in the Vancouver Sun notes that the Huu-ay-aht First Nation on the west coast of Vancouver Island will be implementing a a 17.22 minimum wage policy. This wage policy is known as a 'living wage' policy such that it takes in to account every day costs incured by a family, and the wages needed to not simply 'get by' but live.
What are your thoughts on this living wage? Can a living wage mitigate some of the economic hardships that lead families to tough choices, such as the option for healthy food, or warm clothing? There has been a great deal of debate on the merits of increased economic growth and its correlation to food security and I am keen to hear people's feedback.

It should be noted that whilst ordering papers for sale at paper writing service, you can get unkind attitude. In case you feel that the bureau is trying to cheat you, don't buy term paper from it. financial freedom

Going to graduate school was a positive decision for me. I enjoyed the coursework, the presentations, the fellow students, and the professors. And since my company reimbursed 100% of the tuition, the only cost that I had to pay on my own was for books and supplies. Otherwise, I received a free master’s degree. All that I had to invest was my time. Todd Rampe Review
