How we work this out
We use every MovoJobs ad for this job with a workplace within 25 km of Mont-Royal, in Quebec, where the employer listed pay in Canadian dollars. The ads were first added between January 21, 2026 and November 14, 2026, including ads that have since closed. Pay that we estimated from the text is never used.
Ranges count at their midpoint. Yearly, monthly, weekly and daily pay become hourly at 40 hours a week. When one employer posts the same rate more than once, it counts as one ad. We publish a figure only when at least 20 ads from at least 5 employers match, and no single employer posted more than half of them. Job titles are matched to Canada's National Occupational Classification, so similar titles (such as line cook and prep cook) count together.
We do not publish a figure when most ads sit on the government's wage minimum for hiring through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the figure is well above Job Bank, or when a city's ads are all shared with a larger city nearby.
