The Daily. Thursday, December 6, 2001 Differences in interprovincial productivity1996-1997Alberta led Canadian business sector productivity during the late 1990s, according to a recent study examining differences in labour productivity among the provinces. The research paper Differences in interprovincial productivity levels released today is an expanded version of an article published in the August 2001 issue of Canadian economic observer (11-010-XPB). Among the key findings are that Alberta led all provinces with an average gross domestic product (GDP) per job of $66,000; Ontario was second, $10,000 behind. Saskatchewan, Quebec and British Columbia trailed Ontario by between $2,000 and $5,000 in GDP per job. Manitoba and Atlantic Canada posted average productivity that was only two-thirds that of Alberta. The study found that some of these differences were the result of differences in industrial structure among provinces, and some were due to real differences in labour productivity across sectors. The Analytical Studies Branch research paper no. 180, Differences in interprovincial productivity levels, (11F0019MIE01180, free) is now available on Statistics Canada's Web site ().
