Comparability — Canada [top]

Canada:
In the 2005 and 2010 samples provides yearly (NOT monthly as is usually the case in EMPINCLM) income from employment or self-employment contained in the original variable incm. Midpoints were taken before calculating the EMPINCLM and these midpoints were divided by 12 to approximate monthly income:

1 No income or loss
2 Average monthly income: $208
3 Average monthly income: $625
4 Average monthly income: $1041
5 Average monthly income: $1458
6 Average monthly income: $2083
7 Average monthly income: $2916
8 Average monthly income: $3750
9 Average monthly income: $4583
10 Average monthly income: $5833
11 Average monthly income: $7500
12 Average monthly income: $8333

In 2015, the original data is defined as annual personal income before taxes, but it does not specify the origin the income. As a result, we took the midpoint of the code range provided in the original data, and divided by 12. As a result, the use of this variable should be considered carefully in analyses.
