AbstractThe public service sector is
defined here as the sum of public-service employment for all three
levels of government, as well as education and health-care activities.
The map of growth rates for public-service employment between 1986
and 1996 is almost entirely driven by education and health employment,
and largely reflects the population growth rate. The combination
of all these different activities produces a spatial distribution
skewed towards the larger cities that serve as national or provincial/territorial
capitals, and/or major education and health centres. During this
period, cities in British Columbia grew rapidly, as did the clusters
of cities around Toronto and Montréal. The growth was much
slower or negative in the eastern Prairie provinces and the Atlantic
provinces.
