What is the average salary in Nunavut?
The median individual income in Nunavut is about $41,050 a year — half of tax filers earn more, half earn less. Published “average salary” figures usually run higher than what a typical worker earns, because a small number of very high incomes pull the mean up: the top 10% in Nunavut earn over $145,000. For typical pay in a specific job, check the median wage for your occupation.
