Canada

While the average hourly wage for men was $35.50 last year, Indigenous women earned an average of $26.74 an hour. Indigenous men earned an average wage of $31.03 an hour. Immigrant women earned an average of $28.78 an hour compared with immigrant men, who earned an average of $36.42 an hour.

In "Freedom" money:

• 35.50 CAD = 25.63 USD
• 26.74 CAD = 19.30 USD
• 31.03 CAD = 22.40 USD
• 28.78 CAD = 20.77 USD
• 36.42 CAD = 26.29 USD

Meanwhile here in the "land of the free" where those conversions are relevant, my hourly isn't even close to that 19.30 USD.
