Business License cost from 1998-2019 for the exact same piece of paper every year.
in 1998 a city of edmonton business license cost $50. Today it costs $239. When I first started in1998 a Speedo one piece ladies swimsuit was $100. If the cost of that swimsuit was to keep pace with the city of edmonton business licenses, it today would cost you $478 to go swimming
cost today 2019 is $239
2018- it is now $235 for the exact same piece of paper.
Now, lets do minimum wage
in 1998 when i started, min wage was $5 in alberta, today, it is $15, so that same speedo bathing suit that cost $100 in 1998, today to keep up with government of Alberta payroll inflation, would cost you $300. This is for a basic womens competitive racing swimsuit!
