The $34.95/hr average is stated as the average for permanent positions. I doubt many of the service industry jobs are permanent positions.
Our economy is looking really great if you squint your eyes in a very particular way.
Most are in my experience. Permanent position really just means there’s no pre-arranged end date for the position as opposed to say covering a maternity leave where you’ve been specifically given that position for just until the permanent employee comes back. Unless otherwise negotiated any permanent employee can be let go with 2 weeks(depending on provincial regulations) notice.
