One-third of households say they’re financially worse off compared to year ago: poll

OTTAWA – A new poll finds one-third of Canadian households say their financial situation has worsened over the last year.

According to a Leger poll commissioned by the Association for Canadian Studies, 34 per cent of Canadian households say they’re financially worse off compared with a year ago.

… “People … in lower income brackets are finding the pinch particularly difficult in terms of the effects of the inflation and higher interest rates and so forth,” Jedwab said.

The survey doesn’t ask if your financial position is good only whether it has improved, stayed the same or gotten worse. Maybe “shiite” is the baseline.
