We've just passed a law that gives aged and disability carers a big pay rise. Government facilities though, not private care but it will help drive those wages up too I guess. It's a female dominated industry and there was a court case to get fair pay which has resulted in minimum wage earners ($15.75) getting $23/hr depending on experience, and potential to get up to $27 over the next few years with annual increases.

Seems fair, it'll be a good living wage here

The down side is you have to live in new Zealand to qualify for the pay increase

Middle earth

Edit- disclaimer: I have not been to middle earth because it's functional and I've not been to new Zealand because it's expensive
