Canadian living standards vary in range from 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, families and individuals ("unattached"). The highest income level was in families 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 was the non-earner males. This category had an income of $12,800. I assume that there are individuals on social assistance. These statistics show that the families with multiple incomes can afford a higher standard of living.
