The table shows the number of people in Canada in each earning level 
 
The table details income levels in Canada and how many citizens were included in 
each income bracket from 2005 to 2009. 
In 2005, the number of people in each income level reduced the higher the income, 
with nearly 10 million earning $20,000 or less, falling to only slightly above one third 
of a million earning over $150,000. 
By 2006, the pattern changed as the number of people with the lowest income fell by 
nearly one quarter, whereas those earning between $20,000 and $50,000 increased 
by almost one million and those in the next income level increased dramatically to 
over 7 million. There was also an increase in the number of people in the highest 
income bracket, which rose by over 50,000. 
In 2007, the largest increase in numbers was observed in those earning between 
$50,000 and $100,000, and in 2008 and 2009, figures remained relatively stable, with 
those earning between $20,000 and $50,000 representing the majority. 
Overall, there were variations in the number of people in each income level.
