Analysis

PUBLISHED - Feb 10, 2023
According to Statistics Canada's latest productivity database, Alberta has the third-highest business sector labour productivity of the provinces. In 2021, labour productivity in Alberta's business sector was $80.60 per hour, down 6.7%% from 2020, and 38.0% higher than the Canadian average of $58.50 per hour. Because of the pandemic, the number of hours worked posted a much larger decline than GDP of businesses, and, as a result, labour productivity in every province recorded exceptional growth in 2020.
