I know alot more people who less than this than people who make more. The people who make more generally try to move away from the people making less. Different neighborhoods, I mean.

Please post a link to that, I doubt the BC gov would release something like that.

The link is the average, not the mode. My mistake on the mean part.

Goat boy (without the copyright),

If there are only a few high income earner, it cannot raise the average that much. That means there are MANY people earn big money per hour living in Vancouver?

yeah $20-$25 seems the average to live out here and with having a trade or college which most do getting that wage is pretty common.

Except in Vancouver, we have a large portion of immigrants who are spending "tourist money" here instead of working locally.

Well I just did some math, and it appears you are correct.

Bah ha, Goat boy doesn't know that "average" means arithmetic mean!

Mode is useless in this discussion. Median provides some insight.

Goat Boy knew what he was talking about, he just used the incorrect term. And mode has a lot to do with this discussion.

If you truly believe this then you don't understand what mode means. Or you don't understand the spread of wages in this province.

I understand mode very well. And I understand the spread of wages within reason, however if you look up I was already corrected. You can't learn anything if you don't admit failure.

That means he makes $4.1 million/yr if he works only 40hrs/week and 52 weeks.. You are full of BS..

If I had to guess I would place the mode in the $15-16 range. Guess though, no backing behind it.

I checked in stats Canada like a year ago I remember. The average salary about $26000. That is about $13 an hr. which about $1700 to $1800 a month

Just figured it out, the statscan link is for BC, not Vancouver. Makes a lot more sense now.

Vancouver

After Toronto, family incomes were most unequal in Vancouver, where the bottom 10% had an average income of $8,700 and the top 10% had $205,200 on average. The lowest 10% therefore had one dollar to every $23.50 the highest ten percent had.
The median income of families in Vancouver declined 3.9% between 1990 and 2000
The median income in Vancouver was $57,926 down from a medium of $60,254 a decade previous. This was higher than the provincial median of $54,840 and national median of $55,016
