About 48,000 people in Waterloo region (10%) earned less than LICO; about 16,000 of those were employed full-time. http://communityservices.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/communityPlanningPartnerships/resources/MythBustersAugust262013.pdf (4 MByte PDF)

      The income gap between people in low income and people with higher incomes in Waterloo Region is widening. I've read elsewhere that there's an eight-fold difference -- the lowest 10% earn less than $20,000, the top 10% earn more than $160,000, and that's individual incomes, not family incomes.
