Job Bank's national median is $35.90 an hour, about $75,000 a year full time. Alberta's alis service puts entry level fish and wildlife officers at about $48,802 to $60,645 and full working officers at about $57,397 to $72,978, so the national median is the right neighbourhood. Provincial pay grids, not the market, set your pay.
