Economy Employment Rail delivers services that provide shippers access to domestic and international markets and connects passengers to destinations near and far. The increasing demand for services has prompted a boost in employment across the industry. In 2011, Canada’s rail business continued to serve as an economic driver by way of employment, both in terms of number of employees and average annual wage. In 2011, the sector employed an average of 33,624 people, a 3.3 per cent increase from 2010 and the second consecutive yearover-year rise. The average salary in the sector also rose by 4.8 per cent from a year ago, outpacing the 2.6 per cent average annual increase since 2002. The figure below points to the sector’s year-by-year employment trends throughout the last decade. 90,000 EMPLOYMENT 70,000 52 012 50,000 30,000 2002 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2011 Average annual wage Employees
