Full-time Jobs: Alberta vs Canada

12-month % change in full-time employment, Alberta vs Canada, seasonally adjusted, from the monthly Labour Force Survey. The survey is a sample, so a one-month change in Alberta employment can be off by about 13,000 jobs either way (Statistics Canada's standard error; about 17,500 for full-time jobs alone). A one-month move smaller than that may be noise, which is why this chart shows the change over 12 months.
