Yes. I understand the current living wage in Kamloops is around $17. Fortunately that is where most employers are at in Kamloops and most job vacancies are offering when I look at the vast number of job vacancies. We just need people who want to work, and who know how to work to go to work. We also need to adapt our work schedules to fit the needs of families. Perhaps it's time to find ways to adapt some job positions to allow single parents who can't find daycare to work from 9 till 2. Offer full benefits and this way they don't need daycare space. This potentially could allow them to work 25 hours per week and studies have shown that they are often as productive as 35-40 hr workers. It might fill some of job vacancies and increase the standard of living and well being of some of our community members.
