Alberta gets “D” grade for equality between men and women’s pay in the workpalce
Gender wage gap is an issue that is often overlooked, because of how far Canadian society has advanced when it comes to equality.
A recent report by the Conference Board of Canada gives Alberta a “D” grade when it comes to the equality between men and women in the workplace, specifically in higher paid jobs.
A study of people who graduated from seven Canadian universities from 2005-2012 found that one year after graduating with a bachelor’s degree, women were earning $2,800 dollars less than men.
