Economics in Alberta

This page will focus on the economic facts in Alberta, past and present. For different economic ideologies, and their role in Alberta Politics, see Economic Ideologies and Alberta. Obviously there will be some overlap between these two pages, so they will link to each other where relevant.

You can also find more info about this on wikipedia than you (probably) have time to read:
 * Economy of Alberta
 * The Economy section of the Alberta page
 * All of the pages that fall under the category "Economy of Alberta"

How's the Economy?
To answer this question, people usually (try to) measure things like GDP, employment rates, and job creation. Alberta's economy is recovering, and compares favorably to other areas in Canada, as it has often throughout history.

For the latest predictions from the government, you can check the Economic Outlook page on alberta.ca, including highlights or the full quarterly publication.
