In your opinion, does the same ratio still apply? I was an accountant in a previous life and as I recall, $100,000 in earnings corresponds to roughly one job created. That was more or less the ratio we worked with. Therefore, $27 billion would translate into 270,000 jobs, more or less, that could be created. At least we hope that's the case.
You quote a figure of 220,000 jobs. As I see it, a 1% increase in the GDP translates into a 6% increase in employment.
In dollar terms, what does a 1% increase in Canada's GDP represent?
