Manitoba: Slow Economic Growth

Slow Population Growth Dept: But we should, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "This is not the old Manitoba that we remember with slow economic growth, slow population growth, lots of old people and young people leaving," said Wilf Falk, the province's chief statistician. "That's not the paradigm any more." We don't always listen when economists and demographic experts suggest this is a new Manitoba. Economic diversification, modest population growth, increasing real estate prices, low unemployment and half-decent savings rate have started to pay off in Manitoba. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
