6 Ontario Jobs That Will Pay You A 'Living Wage' For Little Experience

All of these spots pay way over minimum wage.
Contributing Writer

When looking for an Ontario job, it's important to find one that will pay you enough money to live.

While that may sound easy, it turns out that most people actually can't afford to live off minimum wage. 

However, there are a bunch of Ontario companies that are living wage certified.

This means that they pay you the amount that you need to live in your region, as calculated by the Ontario Living Wage Network. 

Better yet, some of them are now hiring, and you don't need a lot of experience to apply.
