Minimum Wage Earners: Anold Mwanri

Anold Mwanri: But just because many of them still live at home, it doesnt mean they dont deserve better pay, they say, according to The Star. Even though he put in 40-hour weeks last summer and now works 10 hours a week during school, Mwanri says he will never have enough money to cover the $10,000 tuition to study engineering next fall and Torontos roughly 200,000 minimum wage earners getting a raise to $11 an hour in June are largely young people working in the retail and food service sectors. Anold Mwanri, 17, a Grade 12 student at Don Mills Collegiate Institute, has been working for minimum wage at McDonalds for the past nine months, trying to earn enough for university next year.
