A recent report by the Toronto Region Board of Trade, named Calgary second only to Paris in the world for prosperity. Calgary’s consistent economic growth kept us near the top of the list in most areas. But here are some reasons (as outlined in the report), that we outperformed many of the 24 cities surveyed.
• Best income growth of any city
• Ranked second in employment growth
• Ranked first overall in human capital: employment, diversity, health and safety, higher education
The report stated:
“Calgary’s consistent economic performance keeps it near the top on many indicators, with best results on income growth, where it outperforms all 24 metros, and on employment growth, where it is second, behind the rapidly-growing Shanghai economy.”
