Measuring Ontario’s Prosperity: Developing an Economic Indicator System Working Paper 2 - August 2002
Ontario’s GDP per person is almost 14 per cent lower than the median of 16 comparable North American jurisdictions. This performance gap equates to nearly $6,000 for every person in Ontario. This was the conclusion of the second Working Paper released today by the Institute for Competitiveness & Prosperity. The Working Paper demonstrates that while Ontario’s economy performs extremely well globally, it trails many of the U.S. states in its peer group.
