AbstractPersonal services include beauty
salons, dry cleaners and travel agents on the convenience side,
and car rental and photography on the specialty side. This
map shows the difference between the actual employment in personal
services and the expected level, based on the city's population
and income. Generally, personal services are closely linked to the
nearby market, with only a modest preference for larger centres
and higher income areas. Everyone uses them; they are everywhere.
After the effects of the market are removed, specialization does
occur in smaller places in western Canada and the Atlantic provinces
that have extensive service areas, whereas most urban centres in
southern Ontario and Quebec have smaller trade areas and are thus
relatively deficient in these services.
