From housing to military, here is the most interesting data from the latest StatCan census
The latest data released on Wednesday showed that more than two-thirds of Canadian adults, or 68.4 per cent, received COVID-19 related government benefits, with 27.6 per cent of adults receiving federal emergency and recovery benefits, most often CERB.
Despite fewer Canadians receiving employment income during the pandemic, the government transfers pushed the low-income rate down to 11.1 per cent in 2020 versus 14.4 per cent in 2015, the largest decline since 1976. Statistics Canada also attributes a decrease in income inequality to the pandemic programs.
The share of Canadians receiving employment income fell from 2019, with more women than men dropping out of the labour market. The gender pay gap remained, with men earning 35 per cent more than women, according to median income rates. Higher median incomes in British Columbia, Prince Edward Island and the three territories are a reflection of job losses in low-income sectors, the agency reported, because people who did not earn any income are not reflected in the median income calculations.Article contentThe average home sold for $711,316 in May, a drop from $687,595 during the same month the year before.
