Sinulat namin kamakailan ang tungkol sa Tuktok 10 Lugar upang mapahinga sa Canada. But what if you’re coming to Canada to work?

Ayon sa MoneySense magazine’s 2009 Best Places to Live survey, ang Tuktok 5 best places to work in Canada are all in Alberta.

The Number 1 city for working in Canada is Calgary, the survey found, followed by Brooks, Malamig Lake, Grande Prairie, at Edmonton. Relatibong mataas na salaries, comparatively low unemployment, and above-average discretionary income levels are factors weighing in these Alberta cities’ favor.

Rounding out sa tuktok 10 ay Estevan, SK; Levis, QC (just outside of Quebec City); Winnipeg, MB; at Red Deer, AB.

Talaga, with the recession nipping at the Canadian job market, even high-flying Alberta isn’t immune. Pa rin, compared to other parts of the country, Alberta ay paggawa OK, job-wise. Sa Hunyo, halimbawa, Alberta’s Employment and Immigration Ministry iniulat na:

Alberta’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 6.8% sa Hunyo 2009, isang pagtaas ng 0.2 percentage points from May and the third lowest in the country sa likod ng Saskatchewan sa 4.6% at Manitoba ay 5.2%. The national average was 8.6%, pataas 0.2 percentage points from the previous month.

Kaya, kung saan ay ang pinakamasama na lugar na magtrabaho sa Canada? Ironically, survey ang natagpuan na ang pinakamasama lugar upang gumana ay din ang pinakamagandang lugar para masaya — Montreal.
