I'm not going around complaining that my $13 sucks. I'm 21, just finished school and am working towards a higher paying jobs, trust me I'm not staying making this amount.

Really?
You can make 100K in this country doing unskilled labour if you actually want to work.
Opportunities haven't changed, people's attitudes however have.
That "wasted" human life might have a lovely wife at home, and a child that makes them happy and they live happier than some wife in the burbs married to a CEO that is always off with the secretary.
Or maybe it is an immigrant that left a miserable life and it is trying to make a better life but without "Canadian Education" it can't for a while.
Yes, Money helps me buy race tires and have the shinny new car but I find it funny how people have this very small concept of the world that it isn't narrower than the house and neighborhood they have lived all their life... at that is ok.
A minimum wage increase makes a difference... to the person receiving it.
Yeah, but...Alberta.

Boohoo. Poor her. My parents packed themselves, me and my 2 year old brother in six suitcases and came to Canada. They volunteered for 3 years while working part time jobs so they can get the needed qualifications and experience. They drove old cards, lived frugally so they can pay off the house ASAP.
Dont don't wanna step out of your comfort zone and risk a little to get a better job? Fine, flip burgers. But don't cry how you can't pay for your latest iphone.

I don't think you understand my post. You need to expand your scope.
Are they? Any facts behind this?
Are you wishing me luck in my career? No need for luck, normally skill and education does the trick but thanks, if it wasn't directed at me, then i apologize.
Edit: I understand your post, but i think your comment was disrespectful to those that work for minimum wage.. anyways, I do not much care for this discussion, I am out.

The wish was for Amazon, forgot the quote I guess. But, good luck to you too my friend.
As for statistics, there are plethora of information. Go to UC Davis centre for poverty, they got interesting resources. If you want an actual published paper, this is a pretty good starting point:
