Job Bank's national median is $29 an hour, about $60,000 a year at 40 hours a week. The lower end ($21) and upper end ($43.30) are the bottom and top of the wage range for everyone in the group. Apprentices are paid from day one, at a share of the journeyperson rate that rises each level; in Ontario no share is set in law, and it can never be below the minimum wage.
