It is all relative. Only about 18% of Calgarians work in downtown - so the group that will likely only work in downtown is perhaps 12%-15% at the most. Again, over 80% of employees in Calgary do not work in down town.

I don't know where the NE comes into this - it is not any different from any other quadrant in terms of employment. The biggest employers are A. the hospitals, medical centres and clinics, B. the schools and other grade school related employment, C. the post secondary institutions, in particular UCalgary, SAIT and MRU, D. the service industry including hotels and restaurants, and retail, E. the industrial parks including manufacturing and distribution, and F. transport, including elements ranging from transit to the airport.
