Canada’s university graduates continue to out earn other workers, making on average $25,545 more than full-time workers with just a high school diploma, according to 2001 census data released Tuesday by Statistics Canada.

University-educated people working full-time averaged earnings of $61,823 in 2000, compared to $41,825 for college graduates and $36,278 for people with high-school diplomas.

Average, full-time earnings for all Canadians, regardless of education, were $43,231.

Almost 60% of Canadians who earned $20,000 or less in 2000 had high-school equivalency, or less. More than 60% of those earning in excess of $100,000 had a university degree.
