Wages
Median hourly wages for every province and the employer side of the market — measured vacancies with the wage actually being offered, occupation by occupation. Every figure on this page is a Statistics Canada survey measurement, not a model — and vacancy counts are quarterly statistical estimates, not browsable job postings.
Canada, all occupations: median $30.77, average $36.40. Occupation-level medians for any of the 516 NOC unit groups are one call away — /api/v1/wages?noc={code} compares every province at the most specific granularity the survey publishes.
Tier AStatistics Canada — employee wages by occupation (Labour Force Survey), 2025 — LFS annual averages, both full- and part-time employees, all genders, 15+. Values pass through unmodified; suppressed cells are null. See the recipe in market/wages-data.ts. · 2025-12-31 · Direct primary-source observation

Tier AStatistics Canada — job vacancies and offered wages by occupation (JVWS), 2026 Q1 — JVWS quarterly estimates, unadjusted for seasonality. Values pass through unmodified with StatCan per-cell quality grades; suppressed cells are omitted, so absence is not zero. See the recipe in market/vacancies-data.ts. · 2026-03-31 · Direct primary-source observation
Employee wages are Labour Force Survey annual averages, published at occupation-group granularity — per-occupation queries return the most specific published grouping and say which level answered. Vacancy figures are Job Vacancy and Wage Survey estimates, unadjusted for seasonality; Statistics Canada suppresses small cells, so a missing occupation is “not published”, never zero. Offered wages marked E are “use with caution” estimates.
