That's terrible, in Quebec median salary is 60K CAD, topping out at 80K at most schools (https://neuvoo.ca/salaire/?job=Enseignant%20Primaire https://neuvoo.ca/salaire/?job=Enseignant%20Primaire), which is plenty to afford a house (of course not if monoparental). I don't even think that a lot considering the responsibilities they have.
- r-s 7y agoAlberta has teachers top out at around 100K CAD. The Average is around 80k. I suspect the average teacher salary is similar to an average software developer salary here. The data I can find actually shows the average teacher salary higher.
- floren 7y ago60K CAD is 45K USD, so it's pretty damn close to the OP's cited figure.
- refurb 7y agoYeah, but everything you buy in Canada is in CAD, not USD, so they are in fact, better off.
- jefft255 7y agoSure but can you buy a nice two floor house for 250k CAD in the US? In most of Quebec you can.
- floren 7y agoSince Wikipedia says "Quebec occupies a territory nearly three times the size of France or Texas, most of which is very sparsely populated"... well, yeah, you can buy a nice two-floor house for 250k CAD in most of sparsely-populated Texas too.
- jefft255 7y agoBy that I mean majors city like Quebec and Montreal. Sure Montreal is expensive but nothing like Toronto.
- malandrew 7y agoDue to the two-income trap, it's hard for a single parent household to afford to buy a home in any housing supply constrained market.
