Alberta, energy sector to get biggest raises in 2013

Unsurprisingly, Alberta will lead the way in salary raises next year, and oil and gas will come out on top too.

The Hay Group says its latest survey shows employees in the province will get 3.6 percent more on average, above the national rate of 2.9 percent.

In oil and gas, the average raise will be 3.9 percent; it says that’s because of the demand for skills, not just because of the booming industry.

The lowest raises will come in health care, media, and government.
