From 2010 to 2020, Indigenous journeymen earned a higher median income compared with non-Indigenous journeymen, and Indigenous journeywomen earned nearly 2.5 times less, on average, than their male counterparts. Journeypersons are individuals who have completed an apprenticeship program, or trade qualifiers who have earned a certificate of qualification.
These trends come from an analysis of Indigenous people who certified as journeypersons over the 10-year period from 2010 to 2020, including the trades they chose and income trends, as well as the characteristics of completers and non-completers of apprenticeship programs.
