That poll is Canada, not Calgary, which throws it way off. Local market conditions, job demand, etc will push it way up. However, you could earn $75k/year, in a little hole in the wall town, and likely have a much better quality of life, than someone making $125k here.

Basically anyone earning $48 +/ hour, is in the 6 figures. For example, there are not a lot of $40/hr lawyers living in this city, if any at all.
