At the oil and gas company I work for the average base salary is 124K per year. I often wonder what the average household income in Alberta would be if at least one income earner was in O&G.
It's insane how much people are making in this industry.......I just hope it lasts.

Some companies have downsized this year already, and some are going to be doing the same in 2014. I know it's not the singular reason for this, but I have to think that when you're tightening your purse strings to stay buoyant, these massive salaries aren't helping.
Didn't Encana just cut a swath of Geologists? As far as I know working in the industry, those folks were probably all six figures.
