That second bar graph takes my breath away. Most people here could never have imagined that could ever be us. Thank God for the few who could and made it happen.
And more exciting news: our most recent unemployment rate was just 5.6%, which is one of the lowest percentages recorded anywhere in Atlantic Canada in recent history.
I really hope that all of this enables any Newfoundlands who want to stay or wish to come back to do so. That's all I really want. I don't care all that much where we rank in comparison to mainland cities - most of those things measure things that aren't really all that important to me anyway. But I want us to be able to provide a good living for anyone who wants to live here. As long as we can do that, we'll be golden.
