thank you liberals for all those minimum wage jobs. pat yourselves on the back
What exactly is the Prince George workforce. Does it take in the Regional District???
Highly unlikely in a City of 73000 that we wuld have 51,200 working. Hmmmmmmm
Census Canada used to have a ommunity profile page. Given a couple of minuts, I can’t find one for 2011 census.
I have linked a 2001 census page which shows the following for the City:
– population 72,496
– all persons with earnings in 2000 = 42,095
– persons 15yrs+ with income in 2000 = 53,520
– worked full year, full time in 2000 =20,430
– employed labour force 15+ = 36,095
Have fun trying to rationalize that while I go out and enjoy myself … LOL
