Is there an oversupply of engineers in Ontario?

Question

and why are engineers salaries so low?

Answer 1

because ontario lets the unions rules who gets jobs. pay in ontario is much higher than in the usa. than so is food, rent, cars, hydro, and phones. almost double that of the usa. i have been in both places. go to www..canada.gc.ca and find stats can for your answers.

Answer 2

yes there are an oversupply of engineers due to the oversupply salaries gets smaller as they start to bring in numerous amount of workers

Answer 3

I don't know the statistic of Engineers in Ontario, but here is some facts to answer your question:
Doctoral scientists and engineers working in private for-profit organizations reported the highest median salaries while those working in state and local governments reported the lowest.
Teaching continues to provide the lowest annual salary: $62,000. Ph.D.s in management/sales/administration earn an average of $89,300.
Women doctorates in science and engineering earned 23 percent less than did men. Some disparity can be accounted for by the fact that women doctorates tend to be in lower paying fields such as teaching.
The median salary for all chemists with full-time jobs increased 4.8 percent to $78,000 in 2002. The increase was four times the rate of inflation. Regardless of degree level, chemists reported the highest median salaries working in industry and the lowest in academe. Salaries of women chemists lagged behind their male colleagues. In 2002, women chemists had a median salary of $63,000, only 78 percent of the $80,400 median for men.
Salaries of experience engineers have been rising in spite of economic conditions. The median salary for all engineers working in industry in 2002 was $73,550, up 5.5 percent from 2000. The highest median salaries were reported for engineers employed in research and development organizations.
Although increases to federal workers are not keeping up with inflation, many do considerably better when "locality pay" increases are factored in. Government scientists and engineers traditionally earn less than their counterparts in industry.
For the sixth consecutive year, the increase in average faculty salaries for the academic year 2002-03 outpaced the rate of inflation, but barely, resulting in only a .6 percent real increase. By field, computer and information science faculty replaced engineering faculty at the top, commanding the highest salaries—$88,502—although engineering was no far behind at $88,127. In the biological/life sciences, by subfield, salaries ranged from a high of $95,125 in human and animal pathology to a low of $65,973 in plant pathology.
> So you see it all depend on what field that you been chosen!

Not that I'm aware of. I dunno.
