Jdub...While I have a response for you, as I had the same question/frustration when I first moved here...I'm going to let Rob respond as he's been living & working in this environment for almost 30 years...a wee bit longer than me.

I will however, give you some updated wage information...& summarize the article to say the minimum wage is now approx. $50-52.00US a week and security guards minimum wage is currently approx. $71.80US weekly.
