Note:
Oil-producing provinces include Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Percentage differences are computed from region- and year-specific log weekly wage models that control for a quadratic term in potential labour market experience as well as workers' education levels. Estimates of log wage differences are aggregated across regions in a given year using region- and year-specific employment estimates as weights. The resulting statistics are converted into percentage differences by using their antilog minus one.
