Is There Still Momentum in the Atlantic Canada Economy?

Abstract

This report updates the CSLS’s previous Atlantic Canada Momentum Index, tracking progress on a scorecard of 19 indicators in six domains: macro-economy, human capital, labour market, innovation and investment, standard of living, and overall life satisfaction.
