A riveting new report has concretely declared Canada as one of the top countries for construction workers globally.
According to a new report from Workwear Guru, Canada ranks as the fifth best country for construction workers based on a variety of factors including average salary, cost of living, and safety.
Canadian construction workers earn the third-highest average salary in the world ($55,927) which is behind only Switzerland ($79,159) and the United Kingdom ($57,957).
While many Canadians are struggling with the cost of living, Workwear Guru suggests that the cost of living for Canadian construction workers is actually more affordable than Switzerland, Singapore, Denmark, and many other countries on the list.
