The Ecoriomie Council <of Can- ; ada's report onthe — nation's- wage levels confirms. the deplor- able fact that the Atlantic area- lags behind the rest of Canada ‘in average —income—by~-more- jthan a third. i
The report provides striking statistical proof, and-by the. fe- ‘deral government itself. that no thing is being done to bring the Atiantie—Provinces—to- national parity: eee
The “report; summarized. on ihe adjoining page. ‘gives -signl-

Ontario has a booming $1.543: British Celumbla is close behind with $1.483; the Prairies show - $1,302, and ‘Quebec, which also lags behind ‘the rest... still bas an average income of. $1,-
The report finds that the eco-. nomic gap -has — existed... with .— barely any variation. for at least , forty years. And it examines some of the factors responsible for the gap. These include hign junemployment: rates, fewer. peo- iple in the working-age - group, lower levels of education, severe seasonal fluctuations, an unfa+ vourable ratio . of primary to
