## Resource

Alberta’s booming job market is rewriting Canada’s economic story—creating nearly 80% of the nation’s new jobs in the past year, with healthcare leading the charge and childcare exploding in demand. While oil and gas jobs dip, housing starts soar and wages rise, especially in child care, where postings and pay are surging faster than anywhere else. Lower taxes, competitive pay, and affordable housing—like Calgary’s $700K homes versus Toronto’s over $1M—keep the province magnetic. National trade uncertainty, not separatism, drives the bigger economic narrative, while other provinces like BC and Quebec lose jobs.
