minus-squareDoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoNot per capita, how much do you actually contribute to the national GDP? Again not per capita, the raw GDP.
minus-squareLemmyoutofhere@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoPer capita is pretty much meaningless.
minus-squareyes_this_time@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 month agoAt least some of that is because Alberta has the highest percentage of working age population - a share of the population is transient. Seniors are less likely to retire in AB, and AB imports educated Canadians from other provinces. Which also speaks to why equalization payments make sense (Atlantic provinces have to bare the cost of more retirees for example).
