They pay, eh?

Acccording to a report from Western Mine Engineering Inc., Canadian mine workers make more money than their U.S. counterparts. Not only do Canadians take home higher salaries, but they are more likely than their U.S. counterparts to receive bonus checks, and those checks are typically larger as well. The weakening of the U.S. dollar is at least partly to blame for the salary gap, but the results of the survey also focuses attention on the importance that Canada places on its mining industry.
