Gain of 2,820 from other provinces follows losses

3 z1 X+ l' Z! Z- j  P8 b0 i: AMigration to Alberta from other provinces jumped in the second quarter, Statistics Canada said Wednesday.
# E8 S. j& o5 r; C3 W6 S3 M& _
From April 1 to July 1, a net total of 2,820 Canadians moved to Alberta.
3 [, O; f& C% b% F; M. I4 ^: I- c( e4 q  r$ R7 E
That means people from other provinces are being drawn by Alberta’s economy after months of dwindling or negative interprovin-cial migration to Alberta.
9 f: l+ I( z0 n0 C, x$ E
6 p8 F; c1 x4 ~" VOnly 312 Canadians moved to Alberta in the first three months of the year and Alberta posted net losses in the two quarters before that.
. h' k! I. A' E7 s4 q$ t) l! A7 O9 w4 G, n' x8 B
Between 2009 and this year, Alberta lost 2,200 people to other provinces. 6 r& U& ~7 K" A" u' \& ^7 X  [

  _8 d! T( W, x9 I0 T+ V- jIt was the first time Alberta had lost more people than it gained since 1994-95.
  c0 p* Z; D- O0 ^% @3 F; x; W: \0 @: \. {. u' ^! C* j
It followed a peak during 200506 when 45,800 interprovincial migrants arrived.

ATB Financial economist Dan Sumner said interprovincial migration is one of the best measures of the relative economic and social health of a region.
" F0 q# w! T5 x% ]* W. l) w) w8 z* c6 l! {  e$ t4 F  `* j( z
“Alberta just experienced its most solid quarter of interprovincial migration in a year,” Sumner said.
0 R1 O  ^1 o) q8 W% h2 z( w7 z“The main factor driving Canadians to move between provinces is jobs and job prospects. ; `+ A, H. I( V0 b  o+ Y
3 w1 |+ t" z6 w5 w! A* V; @
“During the mid-decade, unsustainably strong job prospects drove migrants to Alberta from all corners of the country, although this trend reversed course quickly during the recession.” : o7 U" p3 s; c2 y) G

+ i: d! Y$ \. Z8 D3 e8 e6 s" O, w" H' MBut he said a still-recovering job market in Alberta means a quick return to the pace of migration seen during the boom is unlikely.

6 G  y/ @0 f1 Q0 `6 u" XSumner said the province’s strong natural increase was partly due to its population having the lowest median age at 35.8, compared to the national average of 39.7.

anyway, a very nice reversal, gaining half of the loss of about 2 years in one quarter.
