Employment income: Total wages and salaries, and net income from self-employment.
Full-time, full-year workers worked 49 to 52 weeks during 2005, mainly full time (i.e., 30 hours or more per week). Individuals with self-employment are included.
Note: Poverty is measured using Statistics Canada's after-tax low income cut-offs (LICOs). The LICOs are only available for persons in private households in the ten provinces. That means the data presented above does not include residents of the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, persons living on Indian reserves and residents of institutions.
