• The average wages of employees increased by 8.1% on a year-over-year basis in September 2022.

In fact, in 2021 itself, Quebec was projected to achieve an economic recovery more powerful than even the USA and EU. The 6% growth in GDP achieved by the Canadian province state in 2021 after the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, led experts to believe so and the province hasn’t disappointed.
