Default Straw Poll - Salary
Straight up question ...

Is $100,000 a decent salary in Canada?

Is this the benchmark that people aspire to?

Thank you!

It's about twice the national average. Many people aspire to it.

I'd take it.


Its a really stupid question though. $100k is great for a burger jockey, OK for an engineer, insulting to a brain surgeon, laughable to the chairman of the CIBC.

Also location counts. It's a living wage in NS, not so much in BC.

Yes I'd say so.

It also depends how you like to live I guess, is any amount ever enough?

I believe less than 5% of Canadians make over $100,000

Define "living wage".
