Last week, I posted on the need to upgrade service class jobs. New research by the Martin Prosperity Institute finds that even though they compose 46 percent of the workforce, service workers take home just 35 percent of all wages in salaries in Canada. Creative class workers, in contrast, compose 29 percent of Canada’s workforce but take home 42 percent of wages and salaries. The working class makes up 22 percent of Canada’s workforce and takes home 20 percent of wages and salaries.
