Actually I think it is part of it, particularily in the low income brackets.
Unaffordable housing means that Maritimer isn't going to come here to take a job at the local Earls restaraunt, when that kind of Salary can barely afford to cover your cost of living.
Those low end jobs aren't seeing even close to the returns that would cover the increased cost of living in this city.
Having worked at an Earls for a few years ago in the summer time, probably 30-40% is from out of town.
