NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A quarter of the country’s workforce is on the lower end of the pay scale, according to Labor Director Robert Farquharson who revealed an estimated 25% of employed residents are making minimum wage.
Farquharson’s revelation comes a week after Prime Minister Philip Davis announced in a national address that minimum wage would be increased to $260 a week in both the public and private sector.
