[QUOTE="wadep, post: 278299, member: 4496"] It's not the cost of living thats killing us in Alberta. Gas is still under a buck a litre, housing is just about peaked right now, with the average 3 bedroom NEW home starting at 347,000. It's the lack of bodies that's killing us. With a 3% unemployment rate Alberta wide, where as the national average is a shade over 6%. Send the bodies, we'll put them to work. Thereason Tim Hortons starting wage is 16 an hour, Boston Pizza or pretty much any other resteraunt job is 12 an hour, is that they're trying to lure employees into their fold. Heck even 7-11 has a 700 sign up bonus and starting wage at 15 bucks an hour, but a slurpee is still under a buck. [/QUOTE]
