Canadian living standards vary in range from poverty<<the poor to the wealthy. In the table above there are a few patterns that emerge. The average income levels are divided into two categories, the families and the individuals ("unattached"). The highest income level was in a family<plural where there were multiple incomes, meaning two or more. That category earned $114,600 per year. The average economic families had a much higher income level than unattached wage earners. By contrast the lowest income earners were the one-parent families and the individual solo earners. The category with the lowest income is<tense the non-earner males. This category had an income of $12,800. I assume that this is an individual<plural on social assistance. These statics<stats show that the families with multiple incomes can afford a higher standard of living.
