Alberta had second worst wage growth since 2019
Last month, Alberta premier Jason Kenney tweeted out that Alberta workers have the highest wages in Canada.
About a week and a half later, Statistics Canada released data on average weekly data for June 2022. And it seemed like a good opportunity to see how Alberta workers fared compared to workers in other provinces.
Sure enough, in June 2022, the average weekly wage in Alberta was higher than what the average worker in other provinces saw. In fact, Alberta workers, on average, made $77.46 more per week than workers in Ontario, which was in second place.
But, let’s look at how those wages have changed over time.
