Federal, provincial minimum wage goes up

If you work a minimum wage job, you will get a bit more cash the next time you get paid.

Both the federal and provincial minimum wage went up Wednesday.

The Nova Scotia minimum wage is now $16.75 an hour, and it will go up again on Oct. 1 to $17.

The federal minimum wage affects anyone in a federally regulated business, and it is going up to $18.15 an hour.
