Lower salary projections to continue into next year

TORONTO, Sept. 6, 2016 /CNW/ - The Hay Group division of Korn Ferry (NYSE: KFY), the preeminent global people and organizational advisory firm, today announced the results of their annual survey showing projected salary forecasts for 2017.

NOTE: Projections include those organizations reporting 0%.

Highlights

  • Canadians can expect to see average base salary increases of 2.2% in 2017
  • For all organizations, actual base salary changes realized in 2015 was 2.2%, lower than the 2.4% projected a year ago.
  • By job level, all positions will be at or just below the national average of 2.2%.
  • Quebec (2.5%) shows the highest 2017 base salary projections, followed by Manitoba (2.4%); and Ontario and BC (2.3%)
  • Alberta's projection (1.3%) is down from last year's projection of 2.5%, showing the continued impact of the economic decline from the collapsing oil prices
  • BC's projection (2.3%) is the same as last year, and is slightly above the national average (2.2%)

 

Canadians can expect to see average base salary increases of 2.2% in 2017, according to a national survey of almost 700 Canadian public and private sector employers conducted by Korn Ferry Hay Group in June and July. Survey participants include many of Canada's leading employers.

The 2.2% projection is lower than the 2.4% projection for 2016 and 2.6% for 2015, continuing a downward trend in Canadian salary increases that has developed since the start of the economic downturn in 2008/2009.  U.S. salary projections remain the same as for 2016 (3.0%), and Canadians have now fallen further behind their U.S. counterparts.

According to the survey, 65% of Canadian employers are forecasting that they will provide their employees with base salary increases in 2017, which is considerably less than the 70% of employers who projected increases for 2016. This is due to continued economic uncertainty across many sectors in the Canadian economy and to the fact that more employers are now adopting a "wait and see" position before increasing their budgets. 

Resource-based provinces continue to see lower increases

Workers in the oil and gas sector have traditionally received the highest salary increases in Canada, however, with the economic impact of collapsing oil prices, as well as a series of natural disasters hitting the Fort McMurray area, these workers are now projected to receive the lowest increases in the country at 1.5% as employers shed jobs and the labour supply now exceeds demand. Alberta, followed by Newfoundland & Labrador, are the provinces forecasting the lowest increases.
