This indicator measures the median hourly wage earned by workers in Basin-Boundary Development Regions. Results are presented for all, full-time, and part-time employed employees. Data for this indicator were sourced from Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey. These statistics consider only wages for employees of employers, and therefore exclude self-employed workers. Employment income constitutes the majority of most households’ total income. Since income is a strong social determinant of heath, trends in wages indicate trends in a region’s social and economic wellbeing.
