Alberta Average Hourly Wages Are The Highest In Canada

The Huffington Post Alberta, Posted: 02/23/2013 12:04 pm EST, Updated: 02/23/2013 12:04 pm EST, Source

 

For those looking for the best shot at making a higher wage, Alberta may be the place to make it happen.

 

The province's deficit may be growing at a historic rate and fear is spreading that the golden age of the Alberta oil patch may be behind us but, according to Statistics Canada numbers, Alberta still boasts the highest average wages in the country.

 

Figures compiled by the agency between January 2012 and January 2013 show that Alberta recorded the highest average hourly wages in the nation in that time period- $27.86 per hour.

 

Alberta also recorded the highest average hourly wage increase for men, clocking in an increase of 7.1 per cent from January 2012 to January 2013.

 

But the distribution of that wealth is a little lopsided, according to the Stats Can figures, which show that female workers in Alberta saw their average hourly rate increase by only 4.5 per cent to $24.10 per hour, 2.6 per cent less than their male counterparts, who made an average of $31.16 an hour.

 

Still, the increase in average hourly wages that Alberta female workers saw between January 2012 and January 2013 was only second in the nation to Saskatchewan, where women saw their average hourly wage increase by 4.6 per cent over the same time period.

 

And according to consumer price index numbers, it's getting cheaper to live in Alberta, which actually posted negative inflation numbers this week.

 

The lowest average hourly increase in the country occurred in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Both provinces saw no increase at all, with a rate change of zero per cent.

 

But at $21.73, New Brunswick has the lowest average hourly pay in the country.

Average annual salary, Associate Professor

New College of Florida = $66,600


When I come to Edmonton.  You and I can go to West Edmonton Mall.  We can pick 20 males there shopping at the mall and ask them if they make anything close to 66,600 per year.  It may shatter your dreams. Seeing that you are a retired man living on a pension.  Do you make anything close to 65,000 per year?

I buy my food and cloths in Saskatchewan because even though Alberta has no PST or HST the prices for everything very very expensive.  The only places in Canada that more expensive than Alberta is British Columbia and the NorthWest Terrorities.

The reason why the average in Alberta is 66,600 per year is because there is less than 1% of the population that is making very large amounts of money from the oil exports.  That less than 1% earns much higher than the 1% in every other province in Canada.  That is why the average is high.  But the average Albertan person is struggling to pay the prices to stay alive in the very expensive Province.

Ow leave him to bray nah. This 70 year old man don't have a concept of the notion of variance versus the arithmetic mean. An old man yet he does not know that endowed professorial chairs are paid independently of university funds (either totally or partly...in my case partly). In addition to that one has to count royalties, fees for appearances, consultancies, summer grants and other small things. But your point about inequality in income is a very good one.

And yet, with all of your stated royalties, etc, your gross income is far less than my after-tax income.

You know that may very well be true. And in no way it bothers me. I'd say God bless you...however you seem to forget that younger people by definition make less than older folks. That said, you are the one who feel the need to match up penises and the one psychologically projecting and suffering from small man's  syndrome . There is no way in this life I'd ever want to be compared to you. It would be one of the worst insults I can ever receive.

TK, Everytime I come to these big cities in Alberta such as Edmonton where Demerara Guy lives I have to give all my money from my pockets and bags to the many many homeless beggers on the streets begging and sleeping in the downtown streets.  These are winter cities with minus -40 degree weather in the winter yet I see all these homeless people in the place that Demerara Guy paint as heaven on earth/ a land of milk and honey.  Well how come I always broke from these homeless people living on the streets when I visiting the cities if the place is heaven on earth/ a land of milk and honey.

The difference is TK is happy and you are one sad sack.

You - TK - seems to be always babbling nonsense.

 

1. You - TK - were babbling incessantly on GNI, and for many years, about your importance and salary.

 

2. I - Demerara_ Guy -, after your persistent babbling, took you up with my post recently showing the average salary at the New College of Florida for Assistant to a Full Professor in comparison to other universities.

 

3. You -TK- continued rambling to show that you are better than others.

 

4. I - Demerara_Guy- simply point out the salient issues.

 

So, TK, it is your choice to continue with your useless nonsense.

 

I will, as always, respond as apt.

I never come here to talk about salary or importance. I post and discuss Guyana politics. You and the PPP apologists who are bringing up the personal business. The PPP from the days of Balram Singh Rai has always attached their opponents at the personal level. The latest victim is Mr Gulsarran. You actually wrote quite a few sentences there. Well done!

1. You dominate your discussions about your importance, salary, etc., as if you are better that every other person.

 

2. You do discuss Guyana politics, but from the position as if only you know what is best for the others.

You may want to provide some links to show where i have done that. 

Based on the time GNI keeps information, some of the links should be available.

 

Do your own work to secure the links.

D_G posts speak volumes of his inferiority complex. Right now his knowledge is absolete and of no value. Let him tell us when was the last time he tried putting it into practice.
