missed some words

A small improvement is still a move in the right direction.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but Cushman & Wakefield Atlantic recently revamped their website and now has a very neat interactive page for office rental market stats: http://candash.cwcanada.com/Atlantic.aspx

Some very interesting stuff in there!

I remember seeing something about this and them saying that St. John's was a notable city because it made the biggest jump since the last one, it used to be in the mid 100s and jumped from that to 37 since the last time they did it.

Current (March) unemployments rates in the region:

Province

NS - 9.3%
NB - 9.7%
NL - 11.6%
PE - 11.8%

CMA

St. John's - 5.2%
Halifax - 6.4%
Moncton - 6.4%
Saint John - 6.8%

For comparison the unemployment rate in Toronto is 8.0%, so the Atlantic Canadian CMA's are doing not too bad at all!

What a difference a year makes. That is if you are in Saint John. So happy to see some big things happening for the city, and positive numbers.

The CMAs are all doing well but the rural areas are all still atrocious. I expect Nova Scotia's unemployment to be higher than NB's by year end.

Mini Baby Boom in NB?

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-br...boom-1.2684154

Interesting to see this statistic for NB. Maybe our "Be...in this place" slogan was working...

Loads of NB education statistics for all of us number geeks.

Scroll down the page to Statistical Reports > Summary Statistics > 2013-2014

Nice find!

Gotta say I'm appalled that 92 kids dropped out from grades 7 to 9 in 2012 alone though.

Copied from the Stats Can website:

Employment in New Brunswick rose by 2,700 in June, bringing gains over the year to 5,600 or 1.6%. The unemployment rate for the month fell 0.6 percentage points to 9.6%.

Somewhat related, I remember a few years back a story ran in the Western Star here that talked about a student graduating from high school in Corner Brook. He was the first person to graduate from the neighbourhood of Dunfield Park in something like 5 years. It's a low income neighbourhood, mostly public housing, painted up bright colours because those are the cheapest paints and giving it the name "Jellybean Square", not to be confused with the tourist attraction in St. John's.

There are lots of kids, probably more per capita than any other neighbourhood in the city (town) but the people generally have no value attached to education.

I'd like to see similar stats for the North End of Saint John (former Portland/Indiantown area) where ~80% of residents are on social assistance of some kind. I know there are high school grads in the neighbourhood but it must be ~50% of total youth.

Here's a link to a blog by Ryan Brideau called Whack Data. He's got some interesting data maps about NB on there.

Here's a sample of his work:

I am 99% sure those are the centre points of provincial property IDs, not the actual buildings. The way you have three parallel lines running together in a lot of rural areas just doesn't fit with building development. That said, other than really big pieces of property in rural areas, his map does a great job showing off population distribution and density.

It's fun with stats time!!!

I've compiled some interesting stats based on county populations in the Maritime Provinces. I didn't include Newfoundland, because there are no counties in that province.

I'll dole these stats out slowly over the next week or so, but we'll start with:

The 10 Largest Counties by Population in the Maritime Provinces (2013):

1- Halifax (NS)………………408,714
2- Westmorland (NB).……149,921
3- Cape Breton (NS)………100,823
4- York (NB)…………………….99,221
5- Queens (PE)………………..82,632
6- Gloucester (NB)………….76,583
7- Saint John (NB)…………..76,548
8- Kings (NB)…………………..69,670
9- Kings (NS)…………………..61,043
10- Colchester (NS)…………51,550
