B.C.’s construction workers should see pay raises of more than 10 per cent over the next two years.
The estimate comes from members of the Independent Contractors and Business Association in its annual wage and benefits survey.
The survey of 1,000 construction companies says they’ll give workers an average pay raise of 4.8 per cent this year and 5.3 per cent in 2020.
Association president Chris Gardner says the construction industry remains strong with just over half of those companies expecting more work in 2019 than they did the year earlier.
