National Household Survey

National Household Survey: For one thing, it shows that while Canada may increasingly be a nation that celebrates its diversity, the rich are not terribly reflective of that, according to CBC. Despite the homogeneity of this group, it is true that some of the one percenters are outliers they don't share the usual characteristics that tend to define membership in this group. Some don't even work at all. But they are a definite minority and The National Household Survey released this week provides an intriguing look into the ranks of the country's top income earners. In broad strokes, we know that the top one per cent tend to be middle-aged men who are married and live in a big city much like it was 50 years ago. They also tend to have a university degree and work in the areas you'd expect medicine, dentistry, law, engineering, business and finance, and management. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
