Statistics Canada has released new data tables on the labour market outcomes of the graduating classes of 2010 to 2021, as well as an interactive tool that examines the Class of 2018. The data tables offer a look at the characteristics and median employment income of postsecondary graduates two and five years after graduation. This data can be examined by factors such as educational qualification and field of study. The tables show that the highest earners tended to be graduates of professional degree programs. In the Class of 2018, the average professional degree graduate earned $95K two years after graduation and $116K five years over graduation. The next highest earners were those with a doctoral degree ($79K after two years, $94K after five years) and master’s degree ($76K, $87K).
