That means people from other provinces are being drawn by Alberta’s economy after months of dwindling or negative interprovin-cial migration to Alberta.

ATB Financial economist Dan Sumner said interprovincial migration is one of the best measures of the relative economic and social health of a region. 1 T$ W/ Q5 e" Q) K5 I' n

“Alberta just experienced its most solid quarter of interprovincial migration in a year,” Sumner said.
' m$ j4 t% k: l  L3 p  k“The main factor driving Canadians to move between provinces is jobs and job prospects.
/ ^( w/ @2 z; x. ^8 e" S: I/ {. X* r9 T- o
“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.”
# `3 P) R6 A) B, f6 i, d" ^+ s! h
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. + M& e% C* R2 S; C" y" v) N# m

Statistics Canada said Alberta’s population in the second quarter climbed by 18,538, or 0.5 per cent, to 3.72 million.

6 j/ a+ h, M! ^/ v8 `# Y# p: v
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.
