New Brunwick's Employment Growth Rate Leads Country

[Alberta Bound]

http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/071207/d071207a.htm

Some stats I pulled on employment growth rate for the past 12 months.


% Change Nov 06-Nov07
New Brunswick 4.7%
British Columbia 4.0%
Alberta 3.0%
Quebec 2.9%
Manitoba 2.9%
Ontario 2.2%
Saskatchewan 1.4%
Nova Scotia 1.2%
Prince Edward Island -0.7%
Newfoundland and Labrador -0.9%
Canada average 2.9%


Couldn't find any statistics for CMA's in New Brunswick besides Saint John, where employment grew by a whopping 11.5% from Nov 2006 - Nov 2007 :cool:

I didn't look in full detail but I didn't see another Canadian city in the latest labour force tables showing higher 12 month employment growth.

You`re really funny :haha: However, you have a point, I don`t have any abilities to work on pipeline or pulp mills as well. Anyway, trying to debate with you is a waste of time. .

"retarded facts"?

They are facts regarding employment...the subject at hand, how does that make them retarded?

From T&T Dec 8th 2007

"Metro Moncton continues to lead the province in employment, with 71,400 people working last month, up by nearly 5,000 from the previous November.

The city's unemployment rate dropped to 4.9 per cent from 5.3, reflecting nearly 4,000 people.

Fredericton's unemployment rate hovered around 5.0 per cent -- 2,500 people -- but employment grew to 49,200, adding 1,300 people to the workforce from the November prior.

Saint John had the province's largest year-over-year job growth, with 68,300 people in the port city working -- up by 7,000 jobs.

Unemployment remained unchanged at 3,800 people without work."

EDIT: SJs unemployment rate is 4.9% currently as well...if anyone was wondering.

Seems to me all 3 cities are doing very well this year :tup:

The only that I can take from these stats in saint john is if we can sustain or lower this uneployment rate. When the construction boom is over do we see half of the 7000 lose thier jobs or can we find other work for these people. Trade services are tricky we may be booming with need at this time but in five year when the well is dry(peoples pockets) where can we find an alternative means of sustainable job growth.

Call Centers can not employ an entire city we need more offices, new ones renovated ones, we need to attract companies to set up shop in our city.

This is just the beginning. The 21st Century will belong to New Brunswick! The Renaissance has begun!

Even if half of the 7000 workers lost their jobs after these potential projects are completed, Saint John will still be further ahead. With the construction of the LNG plant (65% complete), the natural gas line into the US, the existing and potential new oil refinery and potential additional reactors at Point Lepreau, Saint John will be become an eastern Canada leader in the midstream and downstream oil and gas industry and in nuclear energy.
