Software company Sprout Studio commits to paying Niagara's living wage.

There's a new living wage employer in town!

The Niagara Poverty Reduction Network says Sprout Studio has become a certified living wage employer at the Champion level. 

The St. Catharines software company has 16 employees. 

It's the latest in a growing number of businesses to commit to paying at least $18.90 an hour, which is the current living wage in Niagara. 

The living wage reflects what workers need to make based on the costs of living and being involved in a community.
