Are good jobs disappearing in Canada?

Anick Johnson and Rene Morissette

Economic Policy Review, 2005, issue Aug, No v.11 no.1, 23-56

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 ($25 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.
