Q: Do you agree?
A: Much of depends on where in Alberta you live and the the type of job you have. According to Stats Canada the median overall for an Albertan's wage after tasxes was $ 43,964. Compare that to Canada's overall median wage which is $ 41,401 You can check the stats out yourself for the different occupations in Alberta at: http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census06/data/highlights/earnings/Table801.cfm?Lang=E&T=801&GH=5&GF=48&G5=1&SC=1&SO=0&O=A Therefore if one was to assume that both are working at the median wage then it would be well over the $80,000 mark. Hopefully this answers your question. Good Luck
