Women should be outraged by the inherent 'unfairness' of the labour market -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 47
from Motivating Mondays · host Christian Saint Cyr
In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re taking a different look at International Women’s Day. While most people take the time to celebrate women in our society, is this not overlooking there serious inequity women face in Canada’s labour market. When in Canada earned 88 cents for every dollar earned by men in 2025, leaving a 12 per cent wage gap — a slight improvement from 82 cents nearly three decades ago. When average annual earnings are considered — capturing bonuses, commissions and differences in hours worked — the gap widens sharply: Canadian women earned 72 cents on the dollar in 2023, a 28-per-cent gap, according to Statistics Canada. The latter figure is an improvement from 62 cents 30 years ago.#MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.If you would like to join us LIVE, we meet every Monday morning online with job developers from across Canada to discuss a new topic.
