The numbers: average worker pay rose by 0.5 per cent in 2016. Canada’s top 100 CEOs were luckier: an average 8-per-cent pay hike pushed their average pay to $10.4 million, the first time the centre’s data-crunching has taken the total above the $10-million mark. “The minimum wage for the top CEOs is now $2,489 an hour,” Macdonald says. “Which, incidentally, is about a month’s work at minimum wage.” True. “So there was really a big increase in the minimum wage to get on the top 100 list,” Macdonald says.
