Minimum Wage to Increase Again
Prime Minister and Finance Minister Gaston Browne has announced that the national minimum wage will soon see another increase.
During his appearance on the Browne and Browne Show on Pointe FM this past Saturday, the Prime Minister revealed that this adjustment is on the horizon.
The previous raise in the national minimum wage took effect on January 1, 2023, when it was raised from $8.20 to $9.00 per hour.
According to the Prime Minister, this decision to raise the minimum wage is part of his government’s commitment to ensuring that as the economy grows, workers can reap the benefits.
In 2024, Antigua and Barbuda experienced a 6 percent growth in real Gross Domestic Revenue, which the Prime Minister hailed as a significant achievement for the nation.
