Median
$71,000
Lower end
$48,000
Upper end
$104,000
Job Bank's national median is $34 an hour, about $71,000 a year full time, with a spread of $23 to $50 an hour. Job Bank pools addictions counsellors with other counselling therapists, so agency jobs often sit below this median. Alberta's 2023 wage survey puts the average for this group at $44.08 an hour.
