Total wages and salaries paid out in the period ran to $8,051,- 500,000 and three provinces did better than the national rate of increase.

They also are gross figures, taking no account of income taxes or payroll deductions for pension funds and welfare bene- tits. Wages, salaries and supple- mentary labor tncome account for about two-thirds of the coun- try's national income and about half its gross national product.
