Manitoba Real Incomes Fall as Wages Lag Inflation
NDP Finance Critic Len Evans cites Statistics Canada data showing Manitoba weekly earnings dropped by $19.63 from 1988 to the first five months of 1997, while Canada rose by $11.79. Evans argues inflation eroded real incomes under the Filmon government and more Manitobans feel worse off. He notes growth in low wage service jobs worsened the trend.
