The minimum wage in China’s Guangdong Province will be increased by an average of 19% from May 1, 2013, the provincial department of human resources and social security said in a statement on February 5.

In the provincial capital, Guangzhou, minimum wage levels will rise by 19.2% to around $250 per month.
