Canada’s average weekly earnings growth strengthened in April 2026, with year-over-year gains rising to 3.85%, up from 3.47% in March 2026. The data, updated on 25 June 2026, indicate a modest but clear acceleration in wage momentum.

Both figures represent year-over-year comparisons: the April reading compares average weekly earnings in April 2026 to April 2025, while the March figure reflects the change between March 2026 and March 2025. The pickup suggests that Canadian workers, on average, are seeing slightly faster income growth this spring than earlier in the year, a development that could influence household spending patterns and broader economic conditions in the months ahead.
