Growth Rate of Personal Services Employment, 1986 to 1996

Commercial services, the activities operating within the private sector, are attracted to markets according to the population of the area they serve and the level of market income. Growth rates for personal services show much the same regional pattern, the relatively slow growth in the eastern Prairie provinces contrasting with the rapid growth in British Columbia, Alberta and southern Ontario and Quebec. The very highest rates of growth occurred in coastal British Columbia and around Toronto, Ottawa, and Montréal, where population growth was rapid.
