TORONTO — A new report says the gender pay gap in sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ narrowed last year compared with 2021, but still stood at more than 20 per cent.

The survey for payroll company ADP sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ says working Canadians who self-identify as women reported earning 21 per cent less than workers who self-identify as men last year.

The report showed a gap of 24 per cent for 2021, while it stood at 21 per cent in 2020.

The survey recorded self-reported gross salaries for 2022 from both part- and full-time employees.

The average salary reported by men was $72,743, while women on average reported $57,725.

The report also says 33 per cent of men declared earnings of more than $80,000 in 2022, compared with 18 per cent of women.

The online survey by Maru Public Opinion included 1,556 employed Canadian adults who responded between March 6 and March 9.

The poll cannot be assigned a margin of error because online surveys are not considered truly random samples.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 20, 2023.
