The living wage in Ontario has risen to $26 an hour, a 3.8% increase, due to higher living costs.

The Ontario Living Wage Network reports that the living wage in Ontario has increased to $26 an hour, most notably in Toronto, up 3.8% from last year. This is significantly higher than the current minimum wage of $17.20. The rise is mainly due to increasing costs of rent and groceries. The network advocates for employers to adopt this living wage to ensure workers can afford basic living costs.
