It shows that the median family income in Canada is $76,000 -- generally higher in the West than the East -- while the median individual income is just $27,600. That means just as many individuals earn less than $27,600 as earn more.
The richest 10 per cent of individuals are making more than $80,400. And the very rich -- the 272,600 individuals that make up the top one per cent -- are all making more than $191,100.

While the national median annual income for a full-time worker is $50,699, the median for a visible-minority worker is just $45,128. For a First Nations full-time worker, the median income is $41,684.
