Acknow ledgment s Thank you to the Economic and Social Inclusion Corporation (ESIC) for providing financial support for this research. We extend thanks to Christine Saulnier, Nova Scotia Director of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, for sharing her knowledge and providing continuous guidance to support our living wage work in New Brunswick. Dr. Saulnier leads living wage research in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island. We are grateful to economist Jean-Philippe Bourgeois for his invaluable contributions to living wage research in New Brunswick and across Atlantic Canada. Professor Bourgeois takes the lead on the tax and transfer portions of living wage calculations. Finally, we would like to recognize Chelsea Driscoll and Natalia Hicks, who tested the methodology and wrote earlier reports on living wages in New Brunswick.
