Fair enough, but do you think that the ranking of percentage of income as compared to others in their provinces will be any better?
And beside that, the table takes the median income of every Albertan, including children. Over a third of the people listed in the table make less than $25000. If you are including every man, woman and child, then frankly I am shocked that the minimum salary of someone who has completed a degree with a minimum of 4 years of university is ONLY 50% higher than the median individual income in the province, especially when you take into account that in 2013 Alberta had the lowest minimum wage in Canada.
