I’m skeptical of the premise of this article, but I know that I saw an A&W advertising CAD $17/hr starting wage today. Not only is that above minimum wage but they are advertising it out front. Down the street is a factory asking for electricians at $40/hr. I hope that publishing wages/salaries becomes more normal. I think it’s an equalizer.

I see a lot of fast food places with similar signage, but if you get up close, there's an asterisk that notes that those starting wages are for full-time employees, which they don't actually hire because they don't want to give full-time employees benefits, or for management or corporate employees.
