Canada's rising inflation rates have significantly impacted the province's cost of living, and although you can't control the outrageous price of lettuce these days, you can lock down a high-paying Ontario job to make the pill less bitter to swallow.

Don't feel hopeless if you lack extensive experience or education, you can still secure a job that pays you $40 an hour. So long as you're willing to work hard and learn quickly.

Jobs titles like construction labourer or sheet metal worker may earn you less clout than engineer or CEO, but you'll hardly be thinking about that when your paycheque arrives.
