TORONTO — A new report says the gender pay gap in ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ narrowed last year compared with 2021, but still stood at more than 20 per cent.
The survey for payroll company ADP ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ says working Canadians who self-identify as women reported earning 21 per cent less than workers who self-identify as men last year.
The report showed a gap of 24 per cent for 2021, while it stood at 21 per cent in 2020.
The survey recorded self-reported gross salaries for 2022 from both part- and full-time employees.
The average salary reported by men was $72,743, while women on average reported $57,725.
The report also says 33 per cent of men declared earnings of more than $80,000 in 2022, compared with 18 per cent of women.
The online survey by Maru Public Opinion included 1,556 employed Canadian adults who responded between March 6 and March 9.
The poll cannot be assigned a margin of error because online surveys are not considered truly random samples.
