Provincial and territorial economies
Ten provinces and three territories, one set of definitions
Each province has a data profile built from the same Statistics Canada series, so provinces can be compared like for like. These are data profiles with computed rankings; none carries written analysis yet. The territories appear wherever the source table publishes them; their labour survey is a different, smoothed table and is shown on their own pages, not in the table below.
