Reading the wage figures
These are hourly wages, not yearly salaries. Most come from Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey for 2023-2024; Yukon's come from a Statistics Canada Small Area Estimation model for 2024.
Job Bank gives one set of figures for the whole occupation, with no split by work setting, such as hospital or community pharmacy, or by years of experience.
