Alberta Living Wage Network calculates living wage in Grande Prairie

Nov 8, 2023 | 2:32 PM

The Alberta Living Wage Network has calculated how much a worker needs to earn to afford to live in Grande Prairie.

In collaboration with 16 communities and local organizations, ALWN calculated that the average worker needs to earn $18.90 an hour to be able to cover all basic expenses in Grande Prairie, while still being able to afford a modest standard of living.

The calculation considers three different household types: a two-parent family with two young children, a single-parent family with one child, and a single individual.

It also includes savings for unexpected costs, continuing education, childcare, and funds to participate in the community.

The living wage for all 16 communities participating in ALWN’s calculations can be found below:
