Question

Wages in Canada in the 30s and 40s?

Answer 1

It depends on which area of Canada, as there were huge differences.  The 30s were very tough years in many parts of Canada.  Where my father grew up a common term used in that era was "six cents a day" - that was the amount of government assistance given to families where the bread winner was out of work - six cents per person per day to live on.  Here are a couple of sites that should help you with this information.
