The Construction Union Wage Rate Index (including supplements) for Canada remained unchanged in March compared with the February level of 146.5 (1992=100). The composite index increased 2.1% compared with March 2008.
Note: Union wage rates are published for 16 trades in 20 metropolitan areas for both the basic rates and rates including selected supplementary payments. Indexes on a 1992=100 time base are calculated for the same metropolitan areas and are published for those where a majority of trades are covered by current collective agreements.
