Alberta economy

Alberta has one of the world's most vibrant economies and, over the past ten years, we've experienced the strongest economy in Canada.

Renowned for our entrepreneurial spirit, we offer a great environment for business. In Alberta, you'll find an economy set up for global success with excellent infrastructure, IT connectivity and a fine transport system.

Our province is blessed with an abundance of natural resources, all of which play an important role in our success. Our vibrant economy translates into a healthy job market. Approximately 465,600 new jobs were created between 1996 and 2006 and Alberta's average unemployment rate in 2006 was the lowest in Canada at 3.4%.

Alberta is home to many leading companies and research institutes all competing at the top of their global markets. As a result, we offer a breath of fresh air for career professionals seeking to thrive in an environment where skill, innovation and inspiration are common-place.

If you appreciate the distinction between making a living and making more of life, then Alberta is the place for you.
