Everyone considers themselves middle class. It's a political fiction. But, as financial planner Denis Bourque shows in a January Tiktok video, a breakdown of average salaries in Quebec reveals the province's true class thresholds.
"It's difficult to make it with $18 an hour, especially when you have children," according to Quebec Premier François Legault. But he also made clear in a December 8 National Assembly debate that he rejects dramatic increases to the province's $14.25 minimum wage, preferring a different wage-raising strategy one that would inevitably leave behind the lowest earners.
Cha-ching. Some Quebecers could see significant salary bumps next year, according to projections published Thursday by the Conseil du patronat du Québec (CPQ), an organization that represents more than 70,000 employers in the province.
