Alberta Produced Four Of Every Five New Canadian Jobs
Statistics Canada counted 78,500 new positions in Alberta against just 99,000 nationwide, a 3.0% surge dwarfing the country's 0.5% pace.
- Alberta added 78,500 jobs year over year, a 3.0% gain, per Statistics Canada's June survey.
- Canada added just 99,000 jobs nationwide over the same year, a 0.5% increase.
- Every other province and territory combined produced only 20,500 jobs, one fifth of the total.
Why it matters: A national jobs report built on one province's growth describes one economy, not ten.
