Dear John,
The median employment earnings — wages, salaries and self-employment income — of workers were lower in every Canadian province than in every state in the United States.
Specifically, among the 10 provinces and 50 U.S. states, median employment earnings in 2022 (the latest year of available data), stated in Canadian dollars, were lowest in Prince Edward Island ($28,784), followed by New Brunswick, ($32,175), Nova Scotia ($32,178), Newfoundland and Labrador ($32,713), Manitoba ($33,221), Saskatchewan ($34,932), Quebec ($36,430), Ontario ($36,749), British Columbia ($37,801) and Alberta ($38,969).
Consequently, every province trailed every state including states such as Mississippi ($42,430), Louisiana ($43,318) and top-ranked Maryland ($52,192).
Canadians should want to know why workers in states such as Mississippi and Louisiana make more money than workers here at home.
