So how much are Quebecers actually earning in 2025, and is it <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/cost-of-living" target="_blank">enough to keep up</a>?</p><p>According to <a href="https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/250529/dq250529b-eng.htm" target="_blank">new data from Statistics Canada</a>, the average weekly salary in Quebec recently hit $1,244.05. That's about $64,690 a year — and a 5% jump from last year.</p><p>Sounds decent, but Quebec is still making less than a large chunk of the country. The numbers come from a federal report released May 29 that tracks payroll employment, wages, hours worked, and job vacancies across Canada, based on data from March. According to the report, the national average sits at $1,290.80 per week, or roughly $67,121 per year.</p><p>So, why the gap? <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/statistics-canada" target="_blank">StatCan</a> says it comes down to the types of jobs people have, how many hours they're working, and overall wage increases across industries. It's also worth noting that <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/quebec-minimum-wage-2025-may" target="_blank">Quebec's minimum wage increased to $16.10 per hour</a> on May 1, up from $15.75 — a change that could've contributed to the rise in average pay.</p><p>In terms of ranking, Quebec lands 9th out of 13 provinces and territories. At the top of the list is Nunavut, where the average weekly pay is $1,743.94 — or just over $90K a year. At the very bottom is Prince Edward Island, where folks are earning closer to $56,600 annually.</p><p><span></span>Here's how average weekly earnings (before taxes) stack up across Canada in 2025:</p> <ul> <li> Nunavut: $1,743.94</li> <li> Northwest Territories: $1,686.89</li> <li> Yukon: $1,487.23</li> <li> Alberta: $1,348.13</li> <li> Ontario: $1,327.20</li> <li> British Columbia: $1,306.10</li> <li> Newfoundland & Labrador: $1,274.94</li> <li> Saskatchewan: $1,253.20</li> <li> Quebec: $1,244.05</li> <li> New Brunswick: $1,156.30</li> <li> Manitoba: $1,154.95</li> <li> Nova Scotia: $1,134.34</li> <li> Prince Edward Island: $1,088.96</li></ul><div>The full report is available on <a href="https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/250529/dq250529b-eng.htm" target="_blank">statcan.gc.ca</a>.</div><p><em>Love this?
