Momentum stalls on minimum wage increase

🔴 | Despite a year-long review process and a massive national consultation, government appears to be in no hurry to raise Cayman’s $6-an-hour minimum wage.

Labour Minister Dwayne Seymour, speaking in Parliament during the budget debate Monday evening, noted that “only 23%” of those earning minimum wage are Caymanian, while 77% were “transient” workers.
