Albertans to enjoy highest disposable income in Canada next year
The Conference Board of Canada chief economist says Alberta will have the fattest paycheque in the country as a single-rate tax, strong labour market, and oilfield growth lift disposable income per person by 6.6 percent in 2001 from an estimated 22 500 this year. Ontario and British Columbia trail with 23 000 and 20 250 respectively. Retail growth in Edmonton is set to lead the nation at 7.1 percent in 2000 and six percent in 2001, with GDP growth of about 4.4 percent this year and 4.3 percent in 2001. Alberta’s tax savings of 0.8 percent of GDP are projected to inject 780 million into the economy, and housing starts reach 26 000 in 2001, on par with Quebec.
