Canada: Avg Hrly earnings for employees: Industrial aggregate excluding unclassified businesses (monthly, NSA)

Average hourly earnings including overtime for employees paid by the hour, by industry (monthly, unadjusted for seasonality). The introduction of administrative data in 2001 and the associated change in methodology resulted in level shifts for some series. This affects the comparability of pre- and post-2001 estimates. Estimates for the latest reference month are preliminary. Earnings data are based on gross payroll before source deductions. Industry estimates in this table are based on the 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Version 3.0. Industrial aggregate covers all industrial sectors except those primarily involved in agriculture, fishing and trapping, private household services, religious organisations and the military personnel of the defence services. Unclassified businesses (00) are businesses for which the industrial classification NAICS has yet to be determined.
