Decades of Stagnation: Low-paid Work in Canada
Canada’s economy has persisted in paying poverty level wages to one in every
six full-time workers for more than twenty years. This, despite an increase of
some 43% in Canada’s standard of living over the same period. “Low wages play a
bigger role in our economy than they do in many other industrialized countries,”
says Ron Saunders, author of a new study from CPRN. In Does a Rising Tide Lift
All Boats? Low-paid Workers in Canada, Saunders, Director of CPRN’s Work
Network, profiles those who work full-time for less than $10 an hour (full-time
students excluded), and assesses their ability to improve their situation.
“We’ve seen the Canadian economy grow significantly, the unemployment rate fall,
and the level of education rise over the past two decades,” says Saunders. “So,
you might expect real wages to rise and the proportion of low-paid workers to
fall. Not so.” Real wages have stagnated or fallen in many cases and low-paid
workers, especially, have been left behind. The same percentage of full-time
workers who received poverty wages in 1981, receives poverty wages today.
