London-Elgin-Oxford can boast the lowest living wage in Ontario. The annual calculation of how much it takes an average Ontarian to earn each hour to cover their basic needs, shows a slight increase in living wages for every community in Ontario. London and area was the lowest at $21.15/hour. Midwestern Ontario, including Huron, Perth, Bruce and Grey Counties has the second highest living wage in the province at $24.75. The lack of less expensive, public transportation, considered one of the main reasons for the high number, according to researchers. The Greater Toronto Area has the highest living wage, at $27.60.
