Educated? 57% of Canadian adults have a post-secondary degree or college diploma (38% in the US) so this is a majority of Canadians.
However, the earning potential for the top earners is much higher.
In the US: median $67K, top 1% $819K
In Canada: median $84K, top 1% $322K
So, yes, if you are 1% you can earn much more in the US. But $322K is not a terrible income level, either, but I suppose it depends on how much money one needs ...
Those median figures, are they all of USA or just those with the post-secondary degree?
