^^^ I guess my question is how you account for the many (?) people that have lost high paying energy sector jobs and left the province as a result. It wouldn't necessarily be reflected in unemployment because a lot of those people aren't living in Alberta anymore.
As for average wage, you'd think it would have gone up after 2015 with minimum wage increasing. Instead it went down which means a lot of high paying jobs must have been lost or reduced in wage.
Not suggesting that Alberta should or should not be seen as suffering as a result, just trying to better understand the data driving these kinds of statistics...
