Migration to Alberta from other provinces jumped in the second quarter, Statistics Canada said Wednesday. ! {, f5 @2 t" y' ^- }# ^- z

It was the first time Alberta had lost more people than it gained since 1994-95.

“The main factor driving Canadians to move between provinces is jobs and job prospects.

# W1 X- |. x" A9 I+ \“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.”

But he said a still-recovering job market in Alberta means a quick return to the pace of migration seen during the boom is unlikely. ) `# G, I  |+ z/ I4 g2 ]& D

5 K! F6 Y1 g7 x5 a; zStatistics Canada said Alberta’s population in the second quarter climbed by 18,538, or 0.5 per cent, to 3.72 million.

That was the highest increase rate among provinces and includes arrivals from other provinces and countries, as well as births. 2 @/ ~0 w* N/ x9 e& n

Sumner 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. + K* s3 m; ~; l6 |8 W' b4 q' H
