Happy Holidays
The holiday season is upon us! I’d like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and all the best this holiday season. I hope your days are filled with family, friends, and all the love and cheer that comes with this time of year.
As I reflect upon 2022, I am thankful for the great progress we’ve made in advancing Alberta’s economy.
A strong economy is important for the prosperity of all Albertans and allows us to continue to invest in issues that matter most to Albertans, including helping to address the rising cost of living, building health care capacity, and supporting education.
2022 saw continued strong economic growth, not only in our energy sector but also in diversifying the economy. A recent study from LinkedIn Talent Insights found Calgary is experiencing the fastest growth in tech talent in North America and is home to the highest concentration of high-tech workers of Canadian cities. Leading multinational companies, including Mphasis and Infosys, have large and growing operations in our city.
Over the third quarter of 2022, we also saw economic diversification accelerate through business expansions and new investments. From renewable energy to aviation, manufacturing to technology, companies like TC Energy, De Havilland Aircraft, Infosys, and Level 42 AI are choosing Alberta as the place they want to be. That means good paying jobs for Albertans.
Our province is leading the country in job growth and people from Ontario, Manitoba, and BC are flocking here in unprecedented levels to take advantage of the opportunities Alberta provides.
As always, if you have questions or concerns, feel free to reach me through email at [email protected] or call 403-216-5436.
