Many Manitobans can expect their paycheck to increase this fall.

The province announced Thursday they’ll be bumping up minimum wage in October.

“Based on Manitoba’s Consumer Price Index for 2018, the minimum-wage increase will help our economy continue to attract new investment and participation in the workforce,” said Enterprise and Trade Minister Blaine Pedersen.

That means the minimum wage will increase from $11.35 to $11.65 in Manitoba.

The province says the adjustment is based on the 2018 inflation rate of 2.5 per cent and rounding up to the nearest five cents.

The increase is set to take place later this year on Oct. 1.
