all jobs in Alberta typically pay 25 to 50% more for similar job in other parts of canada ...
not surprising to see the girl serving coffee behind the Tim Horton's counter to be making $20-22/hour.

happily holi day!
Is this really true 20-22 dollars an hour to work at Tim Horton's. Is this because the cost of living is higher in Alberta or there is a scarcity of workers???
You will not make that kind of money in Calgary, Alberta at Tim Hortons (or any coffee shop) or Safeway (or any grocery store) or Wal-Mart. The most you might get is $12 in such jobs.

Are you sure about $20-22/hour? I have heard as much as '$13-$14/hr'.
Please keep in mind the higher cost of living (That's what I have heard).

Wrong....
My wife was working form TH and got $10/hr (Edmonton).
My friends wife (Fort McMurray) is getting $15/hr in night shift.
And no any job (except technical labour like plumber,crain operator) paying 25% more, the rate are similar to Ontario.
Thanks 'taker' for clarifying. I, for one moment started thinking about a move to Alberta leaving my IT job to earn $22-25/hr alongwith my wife. lol... kidding 
I believe, the only boom in Alberta was/is for Oil rig workers/labourers, Energy engineers/technicians - that too in Fort McMurray. All else must be earning the same as anywhere in Canada. What about Call-Centre jobs? Any idea how much do they pay, e.g. Telus, Shaw, Bell, Rogers, Dell etc.?
