What are the best jobs to be had in Canada, when it comes to wages and inflation?
When we looked at which jobs performed best and worst compared to inflation, here's what we found.
Managerial occupations registered much higher wage growth than any other occupation, according to a Statistics Canada study that examined similar data between 1998 and 2011.
Regardless of education and tenure, if you've been working in mining, the oil and gas sector or the construction industry, you're likely to have done quite well.
Wages in the resource sector rose by over 30 per cent between 1997 and 2017, net of inflation. That's more than twice the across-industry average of 14 per cent.
The wages of government employees also grew at a healthy clip of 26 per cent.
But tied for third place you'll find the construction industry, where wages climbed on the back of soaring housing prices.
The Workforce Planning Hamilton office will be closed for the holidays from December 23, 2017 - January 1, 2018. We will re-open on January 2 and will be launching our Employer One Survey at that time!
Thanks to our funder, the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development, and to all our partners for your continued support.
