#JamaicaGleaner #VoxPop #MinimumWage #Jamaica FEBRUARY 23, 2022: After almost four years since the last increase, yesterday Labour Minister Karl Samuda announced that low-income earners would receive a national minimum wage increase from $7,000 to $9,000 per 40-hour workweek, just a thousand dollars short of what several Jamaicans had hoped for. Before the announcement, with a pending increase on the horizon, The Gleaner had polled citizens in the Half-Way Tree, St Andrew, commercial centres of Clock Tower, York Plaza and Tropical Mall to find out whether the minimum wage needed to be increased and if so, what would be the proposed sum.
