In 2016, almost 2.3 million Albertans were employed, international
merchandise exports were $79 billion, and investment totaled $62 billion.
Between 2006 and 2016, Alberta accounted for 22 per cent of Canada's
population growth. In fact, Alberta's population increase of 24 per cent
over that period was the largest increase of any province or state in North
America.
The Alberta economy contracted by 3.8 per cent in 2016, as a result of the
recent oil and gas price declines which have led to sharply lower capital
investment by oil and gas companies.
Alberta's economy has started to grow again and all private sector
forecasters are expecting Alberta's economy to be one of the top two
provinces in economic growth in 2017.
