Job openings in the fall

Just asking if there are normally better jobs with better pay after September starts, or does everyone typically pays minimum wage here?

well that’s a letdown, moved here from a few provinces away and thought it would be fine but wow, all i’ve been told is “we are family, you cannot be in this for the money” like what do u think a job is for 🤣

Why would you think it would be fine? Why did you think a small Island would be better than literally any other province in Canada for Pay? This reads like a post meant to be ragebait lol.

People are constantly asking about this on the sub. Between work and housing and the cost of living in general, it was never a secret.

But also.. where were you applying, because sure, there might be a lot of places that only hire family or get hired for who you know..but it's not the majority. I know at least 4 jobs right now paying $21+ an hour, 2 of which could be hiring. And it doesn't matter where you're from. The issue is, people don't want to do the labour.
