Note to readers
The 2013/2014 New Brunswick Wage Rate Survey was conducted by Statistics Canada on a cost-recovery basis. The objective of this survey was to produce estimates of hourly wage rates for full-time workers for occupations identified by the sponsor at the four-digit level of the 2011 National Occupational Classification.
Data were collected between November 2013 and February 2014 from a sample of establishments in industries that had employees in the targeted occupations, according to the 2011 Census.
Estimates for five hourly wage rate types were produced for each occupation by industry, region and union status.
Data from the New Brunswick Wage Rate Survey are now available upon request.
