This is the blog post you’ve been waiting for! 

In this post, we’re going to dive into the hourly wages of coaches based on age, qualification, and experience. First, we will talk about averages across our entire data set, then isolate data for Canada and Ireland.

Age

The average entry-level pay for the youngest instructors group is $15.85/hr which is above minimum wage across both Canada and Ireland (Adjusted to CAD) for this age group. 

As age increases, so does pay with the oldest age group receiving an average of $24.61/hr. The largest jump in pay was from the 19-23 to the 24- 28 age group where we saw a wage increase of above $5.00/hr. This may likely be a result of the 24 - 28 age group taking on the responsibilities of program management, which within this survey was not isolated in addition to their coaching credentials. Nevertheless, what’s most interesting is that age has the strongest correlation with increased pay and Covid-19 impact when compared to qualifications and years experience.

In terms of Covid-19’s impact on these age groups, we saw that the youngest age group’s (14-18 years of age) income was affected least by Covid where only 25% of respondents were affected. Whereas the older age groups showed a +40% impact on pay.
