New Zealand is targeting a minimum wage of $20 an hour by 2021
As a step along the way the rate will rise on April 1 2020 to $18.90 per hour.
Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Iain Lees-Galloway:
- "Around a quarter of million workers will be better off next year, thanks to another $1.20 an hour increase to the minimum wage, the biggest equal lift ever"
Scoop NZ:
- An estimated 242,000 workers will benefit by a lift in their income, which includes people working on $17.70 and between $17.70 and $18.90 an hour.
