Edmonton is booming? With the 3rd worst unemployment in the country, oh man.
Edmonton is surviving on the back of government spending, upwards of 150,000 people in the Edmonton region are employed by the government, government agencies and AHS. No meaningful cuts were made in these sectors during the downturn, otherwise, the results would have been dramatically different. But a more diversified business portfolio, lol.
