In 2023, salaries and wages in the Canadian non-ferrous metal (except aluminum) smelting and refining industry were recorded at an undisclosed figure. Forecasts for 2024 reflect a noticeable decline with salaries and wages expected to be 630.23 million CAD, decreasing annually to 548.3 million CAD by 2028.
