High Tech Quarterly
High technology is a rapidly changing industry. With this in mind, BC Stats
developed a quarterly publication, the High Tech Quarterly, to monitor
quarterly growth in high tech GDP, revenue, employment, wages and salaries, exports and imports.
The High Tech Quarterly was a joint product of BC Stats and Leading Edge BC, but has now
been discontinued. The last issue (complete with tables) offering preliminary data for 2004
and highlights from previous issues of the High Tech Quarterly are available
for free.

High Technology Occupations
This series of papers examines the range of occupations within the high technology
sector in BC, some (but not all) of which are defined as being "high technology occupations".
Because these high technology occupations also exist in industries outside the high
technology sector, the analysis also quantifies the number of high technology workers
in other industries.
The analysis uses data from the 1996 Census.
