growth into 2025, despite easing inflationary pressures on employers,\u201d Guylaine B\u00e9liveau, national practice leader of compensation consulting at Telus Health, said in a release. \u201cAs inflation rates decline, employees stand to reclaim purchasing power lost in recent years. This shift could significantly boost individual financial wellbeing and overall workplace morale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The highest projected increases for 2025 are expected in the same industries that led salary growth in 2024: 4.13 per cent in construction, 3.92 per cent in real estate and 3.9 per cent in business services. Meanwhile, the lowest salary increase of 2.75 per cent is expected in public administration, supplanting information technology at the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>The data also shows regional variations in provincial salary projections, with a 3.6 per cent increase expected in British Columbia, 3.54 per cent in Alberta and 3.5 per cent in New Brunswick leading the way. Nova Scotia, on the other hand, has consistently shown the lowest projected increases at 2.94 per cent for both 2024 and 2025. Quebec, which had strong salary growth of 3.85 per cent in 2024, is expecting growth to slow to 3.41 per cent in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"js-widget-content article-content__widget-group article-content__widget-group--content-slot14 article-content__widget-group--newsletter-slot\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-widget__new-story-page fp-execsummary background--primary-light-gradient\" aria-labelledby=\"FinancialPostPosthaste3509934750303260774735770594312192\" data-account-id=\"b9d3df2fccd108b5eff3c44f573b2cd6\" data-aqa=\"widget-newsletter\" data-newsletter=\"single\" data-newsletter-component=\"\" data-target-list=\"FP_ExecSummary\" data-widget=\"newsletter\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-new-story-page-template\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-widget__header__new-story-page\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-widget__banner__new-story-page\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.0.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-posthaste.svg 75w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.0.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-posthaste.svg 100w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.0.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-posthaste.svg 150w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.0.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-posthaste.svg 240w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.0.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-posthaste.svg 320w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.0.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-posthaste.svg 500w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.0.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-posthaste.svg 640w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.0.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-posthaste.svg 800w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.0.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-posthaste.svg 1024w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.0.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-posthaste.svg 1280w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.0.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-posthaste.svg 1600w\" alt=\"Posthaste\" loading=\"lazy\" fifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.0.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-posthaste.svg\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Posthaste<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-widget__text__new-story-page\">Breaking business news, incisive views, must-reads and market signals.
