It's nice to know that New Brunswick hits above it's weight in at least some categories. I've posted this before, but I know that a lot of people are really surprised by just how much manufacturing is done here. We have more manufacturing than the rest of Atlantic Canada combined. More than Manitoba and Saskatchewan as well.

Even though we didn't really gain atleast we didn't lose.

Sorry, misread the CBC article.

Fixed.

So I guess New Brunswick did gain 1800 jobs, but it wasn't really noticeable on the unemployment rate. 400 full-time and 1400 part-time.

December 2013 Unemployment Rates:

Good job Saint John! Lower unemployment rate than Moncton.

Indeed! Great to see everything stayed the same or improved, basically.

I see that Moncton had a CMA population of ALMOST 145,000 people as of July 1st, 2013. That is pretty awesome. However, Saint John went down between July 2012 and 2013 to 127,883. I can't wait until Fredericton is a CMA! I want our nubmers too lol.

Here are the CMA numbers as of July 1st, 2013.

http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quoti...26b001-eng.htm

Edit: If Moncton keeps growning at a steady rate then it will have gained 20,000 people in just 10 years between 2006 and 2016. The 2006 Numbers for the CMA were 126,424 and they are already at 144,941! Moncton needs to gain just under 1500 people to have a population increase of 20,000 in a 10 year timespan within the next 2 years. It totally can be done!

MonctonRad · #**153** Posted **Feb 26, 2014, 2:04 PM**

Further to the above:

Growth rate of Canadian CMA's 2012-2013

- Moncton: 9th
- St. John's: 14th
- Halifax: 25th
- Saint John: 33rd

On the downside for Moncton, our growth rate has tapered off a little from last year. Previously, we were the 5th fastest growing CMA in the country. I hope this isn't a warning sign…….

Demographic Factors Affecting Population Change in (Atlantic) Canadian CMA's 2012-2013

CMA_____Population (2013)__Natural Increase__International Migration__Interprovincial Migration__Intraprovincial Migration__Total Net Migration__Total Growth

Halifax      408,702            1,248               1,272                    -2,104                    1,383                  551              1,799

St. John's   208,372              487                 749                      -314                    1,560                1,995              2,481

Interesting:

Both Moncton and St. John's have had higher relative growth rates than Halifax for at least most of the last decade, but this year we also had a higher absolute growth rate as well.

The main contributor to Halifax's difficulties was a loss of 2,104 people to interprovincial migration. I find this surprising. We have known for some time that Nova Scotia was hemorrhaging population to Alberta and Ontario, but the assumption was that this was from the rural areas of the province. There also appears to be significant population transferral from the HRM as well.

The low natural growth rate for Saint John is troubling. I wonder if this is from a lower than normal birth rate, or a relatively higher death rate. I suspect the latter. The mean population age in Saint John is higher than it is in Moncton.

Saint John is the only CMA in the region to actually be losing people to other parts of the province, but at a loss of only 20 souls this is negligible. The main issue is the loss of over 1,200 people to other parts of the country…….

I'm a little shocked that Moncton and St John's both outgrew Halifax in real terms and by a percentage.

jeddy1989 · #**156** Posted **Feb 28, 2014, 3:21 AM**

In 206 the population for St. John's was 181,113 in 2011 it was 196,966 and in 2013 according to that it was 208,372

That means that in 7 years we have grown by 27,259 people ... not too shabby! just wait until we get some more of our mega projects up and running

we're definitely growing!

Indeed. What would also be considered shocking is how Saint John is performing. Massive interprovincial migration, anemic natural increase and the inability to attract people from within NB is something the city authorities should be, at the very least, concerned about to a certain extent.

Quite frankly I thought the city had turned the corner...

KnoxfordGuy · #**158** Posted **Feb 28, 2014, 4:06 AM**

I can't wait until Fredericton is a CMA and no just a CA. We were at 94,000 in May 2011. We must be close to 100,000 as of March 2014. We don't get the stats because we aren't a CMA. I'll guessing we are at about 98,000.

It's one thing to actually turn the corner as a municipality, it's a whole different issue to convince people in the province to change their views of certain locations. There's a lot of disdain towards Saint John in the Maritimes, at least from my experience. I've never once met a person outside of Saint John that said they wanted to live in Saint John someday.

You should be over 100,000 by the next census in 2016, but you will have to wait until after the subsequent census in 2021 before Fredericton can petition Statistics Canada for elevation to CMA status. You will then be listed as a CMA in the 2026 census.

I believe Moncton was eligible in 2001, but had to wait until 2006 IIRC.

It's an agonizing wait, but it's worth it. Suddenly a whole lot more statistics regarding your city are compiled and this is a goldmine for corporations interested in investing in your community. It was a huge deal for Moncton when we finally became a CMA.
