While the average hourly wage for men was $35.50 last year, Indigenous women earned an average of $26.74 an hour. Indigenous men earned an average wage of $31.03 an hour. Immigrant women earned an average of $28.78 an hour compared with immigrant men, who earned an average of $36.42 an hour.

In "Freedom" money:

  • 35.50 CAD = 25.63 USD
  • 26.74 CAD = 19.30 USD
  • 31.03 CAD = 22.40 USD
  • 28.78 CAD = 20.77 USD
  • 36.42 CAD = 26.29 USD

Meanwhile here in the "land of the free" where those conversions are relevant, my hourly isn't even close to that 19.30 USD.

50% of people earn less than the average hourly wage

Actually, because the highly paid people tend to be REALLY highly paid, a LOT more than 50% of people earn less.
