| quote: | OTTAWA — Canadians’ wages aren’t keeping up with the rising cost of living and will continue losing ground to inflation over the next 12 months, says CIBC World Markets deputy chief economist Benjamin Tal.
Statistics Canada released data Thursday showing that Canadians’ average weekly earnings edged up 0.3% in September to $872.75. On a yearly basis, earnings rose 1.1%, the smallest increase since November 2009.
Inflation in the cost of living, meanwhile, is rising at an annual rate of 2.9%.
“Wages are actually going down in real terms,” said Mr. Tal. “We will be lucky if we keep up with inflation over the next 12 months.
“It’s a reflection of softer hiring in the public sector, a slower construction industry and even in the manufacturing sector we’re seeing a shift from high-quality to low-quality jobs,” Mr. Tal said. “Add to that the fact that employment is slowing.”
Mr. Tal added, however, that the trend is cyclical as opposed to structural in nature and that wages should pick up again once the labour market improves.
While average hours worked per week can also influence growth in year-over-year earnings, the average work week was unchanged in the 12 months to September at 33 hours, the federal agency said.
Wages grew in every province but Ontario and Nova Scotia, with the largest increases occurring in Saskatchewan, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Ohhhh but we got nothing to protest at all. Wages in the last few decades have stagnated in comparison to inflation, corp profits rising much faster than inflation, but equal distribution is surely in place and we should wait till our situation is as bad or worse than down south to start doing anything. |
