I agree. It would certainly help if we took a regional view when looking at statistics. And for practical reasons, opening it up will hopefully mean more activity here.

If anyone disagrees, please say so.

Thanks myles, and good idea making it a sticky!

Hi thread. I'll keep an eye out for stat discussions now

You can manipulate this table in a number of different ways, enjoy!

The stats are up for building permits for August. Seems down for the majority of Canada.

KnoxfordGuy · #**128** Posted **Oct 11, 2013, 9:52 PM**

I see Stats Can says New Brunswick gained 2,800 jobs, but due to more people looking for work the unemployment rate remains unchanged at 10.7%. However, Canada's unemployment rate is at 6.9%, which is said to be the lowest its been in the last 5 years.

Unemployment rates for Atlantic Canada in August and September:

Newfoundland: 10.7 in August, 10.4 in September.
Prince Edward Island: 10.6 in August, 11 in September.
Nova Scotia: 8.7 in August and 8.6 in September.
New Brunswick: Unchanged at 10.7% in August and September.

Surprised to see that there is that much migration between PEI and New Brunswick.

Lots of us ex-Islanders here in Moncton. It's just a short hop and a skip across the bridge to get back to the old home place......

KnoxfordGuy · #**133** Posted **Nov 16, 2013, 4:10 PM**

I see New Brunswick had a great month for manufacturing in September with a 16.8% jump from August to 1.7 billion dollars! The biggest percentage gain since March 2012! Great news!

I'm surprised to see that the property tax valuation for Fredericton is now identical to that for the city of Saint John……..

JHikka · #**136** Posted **Nov 30, 2013, 4:35 PM**

What's the source for the tax valuation?

I got the data from the newspaper today. The article was really about unconditional grants to the municipalities by the province and how some municipalities were losing grant money because of the new tax valuations…...

Ah, on the subject, I was rolling through the Finn Report and realized that it's a pretty good source for tid-bits like these:

Keep in mind that most of these numbers are now seven years old. They're still interesting nonetheless.

It's amazing how St. John's can have the lowest unemployment rate for a city in Atlantic Canada, but yet its rural unemployment is chronic and really drives up the rate for the province as a whole.

Very cool stats! I've always wondered what the population of Fredericton was during the work day when people were flooding in to work.
