The Rich and the Rest of Us

TORONTO – Les familles canadiennes travaillent plus, cependant la plupart – 80 % d’entre elles – ne bénéficient que d’un plus faible pourcentage de l’économie croissante du Canada, si l’on se fie aux résultats d’une étude réalisée par le Centre canadien de politiques alternatives (CCPA).

TORONTO – Canadian families are putting in more work time, yet most – 80% of them – are getting a smaller share of Canada’s growing economy, says a study by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA).

The study finds Canada’s income gap between the rich and poor is growing, largely because the lion’s share of Canada’s economic growth is going to the richest 10% of families. It’s not going to the majority, the 80% of families earning under a $100,000.
