Manitoba — Quietly Thriving, o2 K8 j6 `9 I2 H7 ~1 l7 N
Manitoba’s unemployment rate is a quite respectable 4.6%. All of the provinces in western Canada have unemployment rates below 5.0% (while all of the provinces in the East have unemployment rates of 6.5% or higher). Winnipeg (+2.5%) is providing jobs faster than the nation as a whole (+2.0%) and its unemployment rate (5.1%) is lower than the national average (6.1%). Winnipeg is also finally seeing an upturn in its housing starts (+26%) after lying dormant over the past several years, while the rest of the country surged. The prosperity in the region is demonstrated by the fact that retail sales growth in Manitoba is among the highest in the country, at +9.1% year over year through June.

Winnipeg’s economy is highly diverse, with a well-balanced mix of firms in transportation equipment (buses and aerospace/Boeing), pharmaceuticals, finance and insurance (Great West Life), telecommunications (Global TV) and agricultural products. As for major upcoming construction projects, Manitoba Hydro is ramping up proposals for mega hydroelectric projects on the Burntwood and Nelson Rivers that flow into Hudson Bay. (CanaData forecast: Manitoba’s real GDP +2.9% in both 2007 and 2008.) |
