2021-12-03

“November’s job numbers show Alberta’s economic momentum is continuing to build, with an increase of 15,000 new jobs.

“In November, we saw the largest tech sector investment in Alberta’s history from Amazon Web Services, as well as a new groundbreaking investment from Northern Petrochemical, collectively creating more than 5,000 jobs in our province.

“We also announced nearly $850 million in investment from four agricultural projects that will create nearly 2,000 jobs.

“We’ve continued to see signs of revival in our energy industry, with oil and gas production and exports at all-time highs.

“The third-quarter venture capital investment numbers show that our province has set another record in 2021, with three months still to go.

“This year was the year that Alberta got our swagger back. Next year will be the year we prove to the world that we are the absolute best place to invest, create jobs and raise your family.”
