Abstract

Based on their analysis of changes in the share of jobs falling in certain real wage categories over 1997-2004, the authors suggest that well-paid jobs (25anhourormore)arenotdisappearinginCanada.MorissetteandJohnsonalsofindlittleevidencethattherelativeimportanceofwellpaidjobshasdeclinedorthattherelativeimportanceoflowpaidjobs(lessthan25 an hour or more) are not disappearing in Canada. Morissette and Johnson also find little evidence that the relative importance of well-paid jobs has declined or that the relative importance of low-paid jobs (less than 10 hour) has risen over the past two decades.Labor market - Canada ; Business cycles - Canada ; Economic conditions - Canada
