Education doesn't guarantee top salary

OTTAWA -- Despite popular theory, statistics show that getting an education is no guarantee a good-paying job will follow.

A Statistics Canada study of low-paid labour trends indicates that while adult workers are smarter than ever, they are no better paid than they were 20 years ago.

"You have two movements: on one hand, a better-educated workforce, but on the other hand, for some groups, you have falling pay rates," said government researcher Rene Morissette.

Typically, a well-educated employee will earn more money quicker than those with lower education levels, especially as they gain experience and aspire towards higher-paid positions.

The new study pops a hole in this theory, showing that despite rising levels of education among adult workers, many still toil in low-paying jobs.

The proportion of adult workers with a university degree rose about 10 per cent between 1981 and 2004, making them better educated than their predecessors. Still, the number of adult employees earning less than $10 an hour dropped just one per cent in that time.

All prices have been adjusted to reflect changing inflation rates.

For young, less-educated males, the findings were more stark. Comparing workers whose level of education -- a high school diploma -- did not change since 1981, Morissette found their wages have actually declined by 20 per cent since then. This category is dominated by men aged 25-34.

Morissette offered a couple of theories for the slide backwards. One correlates to the decline of wages across the globe, which forces firms to remain competitive within their industry by reducing labour costs.

"Another explanation is that the technological changes we have witnessed over the past 20 years, like the computer-based revolution, may have tended to reduce the demand for low-educated workers," he said.

Overall, wages for workers aged 16-74 rose modestly since 1981 by about six per cent.

For part-time workers, the trend was reversed so the average wage actually fell 14 per cent from $14.53 an hour to $12.47.

Despite the decline or plateau in worker's wages, the number of employees living in low-income households has not changed since 1981. This is attributed to the growing number of dual-income families that, with two or more members employed, keep income above the poverty line.

ами естествено че има дупка в теорията, но тя по-скоро може би се крие във факта, че тези с университетско образование надали се класират в групата на тези които правят по-малко от 10$/час.
Ако се направи сметка с другото наблюдение, това за всички работещи (16-74) всичко си идва на местото, включително обясненията за по-ниски надници по цял свят, глобализация, компютри и т.н.
