Figures are per hour, in Canadian dollars.
Hourly to yearly
$68,744 a year
At 40 h/week × 52 weeks, the median of $33.05 an hour (low $44,990, high $108,555 a year).
A plain multiplication (hourly wage × hours per week × weeks per year) using your assumptions. It is not a published annual wage and ignores overtime, unpaid time off, benefits and taxes.
By province and territory
“Larger-area figure only” means Job Bank shows that area with a provincial, Atlantic or national figure; it is not a local wage and is not shown here. Differences are calculated only between figures in the same unit.
