Northeast B C economy steady in 2014 despite mixed harvests
CPABC regional check up notes 2014 saw 2,800 fewer jobs in Northeast B C driven by mining and LNG slowdowns while the goods sector added 1,600 positions as construction activity rose. Bankruptcies fell to two, insolvency eased, and population growth supported opportunities though coal and LNG outlooks remained uncertain. The report highlights 2015 depends on global demand, Site C talks, and North Coast lumber exports, with unemployment near 4.9 percent and youth unemployment rising to 7.1 percent while postsecondary share sits at 52.6.
