Starting
$48,000
Top of the grid
$70,000
Job Bank's national median is $28.85 an hour, about $60,000 a year full time. The range is unusually narrow because almost every letter carrier in Canada works for one employer on a negotiated wage grid. Manitoba and Alberta show the highest medians at about $30 an hour.
