It's interesting that we're asked that question often, simply because there's a misconception about retail generally: that most employees make minimum wage. In fact, if we look at Alberta, for example, the average wage for a person at entry level—for cashier, for example—is $12-plus, so it's well above minimum wage.
When we surveyed our members, over 85% of the retail sector was paying at least 25% above minimum wage for entry-level positions. So it has not been an issue for our members across the country.
