Edmonton alone added nearly 82,000 people in that time, bringing the population to 812,200. Originally, the city's chief economist John Rose thought Edmonton might see a slight slowdown from the impressive 9.6-per-cent growth it reported in the 2006 census. Instead, he said, strong job numbers in the past year helped push it to 11.2 per cent.) V' U* y+ F% u, P9 D! M* p

"What we have here is a very good news story," Rose said. "It suggests the City of Edmonton is no longer just a place you go to for a job, work that job for a few years and then you go on to something else when the boom is over.") J3 B) H' U* w# A! u
