Yes. I'm not surprised in the least by that, depending on whose stats you believe. Some are slightly slanted in one direction or the other, but just a quick google of it last night brought me to wage gaps between 11% and close to 40%, according to some people's stats. I think that's pretty accurate, and our workforce is definitely worth every penny of it, due to, as others have mentioned, the higher level of training.
You can look at our area in southwestern Ontario. We have the best rating for TRIR anywhere in the universe, to my knowledge, in terms of workers not being injured. That's pretty accurate. Having a safety record that's absolutely impeccable is part of it as well.
