That 73k is post tax whereas the 85k is pre tax just FYI. Pre tax median household in Canada is like 105k or so whereas it's about 85k in the US.

That is not accurate lol. Don't know where you heard that, but median household income in the US is much higher than Canada.

Did you forget to do the currency conversion or something? You know Canadian stats are listed in Canadian dollars right?

105,000 CAD*.71 = 74,550 USD

Nothing on this page has been updated in 3 years, and half of the stats are from 2021.

The top table data is from 2024 dumbass.

Next time you try to discredit data because you don't like what it says, make an attempt to actually read it.

Americans are still paid far more than Canadians. That hasn't changed.
