'Highest certificate, diploma or degree' refers to the highest certificate, diploma or degree completed based on a hierarchy which is
generally related to the amount of time spent 'in-class.' For postsecondary completers, a university education is considered to be a
higher level of schooling than a college education, while a college education is considered to be a higher level of education than in the
trades. Although some trades requirements may take as long or longer to complete than a given college or university program, the
majority of time is spent in on-the-job paid training and less time is spent in the classroom. 'High school certificate or equivalent'
includes persons who have graduated from a secondary school or equivalent. Excludes persons with a postsecondary certificate,
diploma or degree. Examples of postsecondary institutions include community colleges, institutes of technology, CEGEPs, private trade
schools, private business colleges, schools of nursing and universities. 'College, CEGEP or other non-university certificate or diploma'
replaces the category 'Other non-university certificate or diploma' used in previous censuses. This category includes accreditation by
non-degree-granting institutions such as community colleges, CEGEPs, private business colleges and technical institutes.

lower than Ontario in 2010.

(16.8% movers) was more than the percentage of “movers” in Ontario. People moving to Sioux
Lookout were more likely to be relocating from other parts of Ontario as opposed to moving from
outside of the province.

Non-movers are persons who were living at the same address as the one at which they resided one year earlier.
Movers are persons who were living at a different address from the one at which they resided one year earlier.
Non-migrants are movers who were living at a different address, but in the same census subdivision (CSD) as the one they
lived in one year earlier.
Migrants are movers who were residing in a different CSD one year earlier (internal migrants) or who were living outside
Canada one year earlier (external migrants).
Intraprovincial migrants are movers who were living in a different CSD from the one at which they resided one year earlier,
in the same province.
Interprovincial migrants are movers who were living in a different CSD from the one at which they resided one year earlier,
in a different province.

3.5 Net Import and Export of Labour Force
The next table highlights the industry sectors in which there is a net “export” or “import” of
labour. The net export/import calculation is simply the number of jobs in each Sioux Lookout
industry minus the number of Sioux Lookout residents working in that particular industry. It is
important to note that the export/import numbers indicated under-represent the actual numbers
of employees, as this calculation assumes all of the employed resident labour force in that
industry works in Sioux Lookout.
In 2006, the size of the Sioux Lookout the number of jobs (3,190) slightly exceeds resident
labour force (3,050) available in almost all industry sectors in Sioux Lookout, indicating that Sioux
Lookout was a net “importer” of at least 140 employees. The size of the Sioux Lookout resident
labour force exceeds the jobs available in the following industry sectors in Sioux Lookout: Mining
and oil and gas extraction; Utilities, Transportation and warehousing, Real estate and rental and
leasing, Arts, entertainment and recreation, and Other services (except public administration).

4 Economic Base Analysis
Highlights

Employment in Sioux Lookout is highly concentrated in the following sectors:
o Health care and social assistance
o Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting
o Public administration.

In Sioux Lookout, at the sub-sector level, the Forestry and logging sub-sector and
Aboriginal public administration sub-sector dominate employment levels.

Sioux Lookout experienced the largest job increases (145 jobs) between 2001 and
2006 in the Health care and social assistance sector as well as in manufacturing (115
jobs) and public administration (70 jobs).
This section uses the number of “jobs” in Sioux Lookout as input for the economic base analysis.
More specifically, by “jobs” we are referring to the employed labour force declaring a usual place
of work in Sioux Lookout (outside of the home), versus labour force by place of residence. The
employed labour force therefore includes Sioux Lookout residents and non-residents.

4.1 Employment Profile
The Statistics Canada “North American Industry Classification System” (NAICS) of classifying
industries is used for this report. The largest groupings or aggregations of industries categories
are called Sectors, which are broken down into Sub-sectors, which are then further broken down
into Industries. An example of this breakdown follows:
Sector Level
31-33 Manufacturing industries
Sub-sector Level
311 Food manufacturing
Industry Level
3111 Animal food manufacturing
The following figure illustrates that there were 3,190 jobs in Sioux Lookout in 2006. With 780
jobs in 2006, the Health care and social assistance sector was the largest industry sector
employer in Sioux Lookout.

4.2 Location Quotient Analysis
An economic base analysis is an analysis of how the local economy functions. It does not
provide solutions to economic problems, but instead provides useful information required for
decision-making about economic strategies.
The economic base analysis helps determine which economic activities “bring money in”, and
where money might be “leaking out”. While the actual flow of money in and out of Sioux
Lookout would be the most accurate means of describing the economic base of the area,
however data or statistics for this form of cash flow analysis are not available. As such, a
surrogate for cash flow is required, and the most common substitute is employment which uses
an economic base analysis tool called “Location Quotient Analysis”. This method compares the
level of employment concentration (or specialization) in Sioux Lookout to the level of employment
concentration in one or more benchmark areas. In other words, does Sioux Lookout have
proportionately more or less employees in specific industries than the benchmark area?
“Benchmarking” employment in Sioux Lookout to Ontario and Canada provides information on:


The extent to which Sioux Lookout is producing all of the goods or services required for
consumption in Sioux Lookout (this potentially identifies opportunities to replace the
imports with locally provided goods and services).
Whether the Sioux Lookout economy is producing goods or services in excess of
quantities required for local consumption, indicating a high degree of development and
specialization (or industry concentration) that results from the goods or services being
consumed by non-residents.
The location quotient method is a “first cut” analysis that requires interpretation of the results,
but it will point to the economic sectors that deserve a more thorough and in-depth analysis and
“street-level” validation. A location quotient of between 0.75 and 1.25 generally indicates the
local economy is self-sufficient in that industry. A 1.0 would indicate the exact same proportion
of that industry’s jobs to all Sioux Lookout jobs as that of the benchmark, in this case, Canada. A
location quotient of less than 0.75 usually indicates a lack of self-sufficiency, requiring an
importation of goods or services, as there is insufficient local employment to produce the
required goods/services. A location quotient of greater than 1.25 usually indicates the industry
has more local employment than is required to sustain the needs of Sioux Lookout, and is
therefore exporting its goods or services, and is bringing money into the community.

An examination of the comparison of Sioux Lookout’s employment structure to that of Kenora
District at the more detailed level, or sub-sector level, follows. The following table illustrates the
sub-sectors that have a significant number of jobs (percentage of jobs exceeding 0.5%) and also
having a significant concentration in Sioux Lookout and Kenora District compared to Canada as
the benchmark (location quotient exceeding 1.5 to Canada). In the Sioux Lookout column, subsector concentrations that are not found in Kenora District are in bold. In other words, the
concentration is at least somewhat unique in Sioux Lookout when compared to Kenora District.

4.3 Shift-Share Analysis
Shift-share analysis compares local employment growth/decline of Sioux Lookout jobs by industry
to the employment growth/decline of that industry within Canada, as well as the job growth
overall for Canada. More specifically, this analytical tool examines the job growth/decline by
attributing growth, stability, or decline in particular industries over time to three distinct forces:



Canadian economic growth: regional job growth/decline that is attributable to growth,
stability, or decline of the entire Canadian economy.
Industry growth: regional job growth/decline that is attributable to the growth, stability,
or decline of that particular economic activity in the Canadian economy (with the
economic growth component removed).
Regional economic growth: regional job growth/decline that is attributable to the regional
economy because it is growing/declining more or less quickly than jobs in the larger
economy (with the Canadian economic and industry growth components removed).
This tool, when correctly interpreted, provides greater descriptive power than the location
quotient method. It has been applied to all NAICS Industry Sectors using place of work statistics.
Shift-share analysis allows examination of changes through time (trends) versus the static
snapshot of location quotients. To begin, the change in absolute job numbers between 2001 and
2006 by sector will be examined.

The shift-share analysis table above explains 2001-2006 job growth in Sioux Lookout for each
industry sector by attributing absolute changes in job numbers to national, industry and regional
growth effects.
An example of how to interpret the table follows:
 The Health care and social assistance sector experienced the largest increase of 145 jobs
between 2001 and 2006. This increase may be attributed to the following:
o Overall job growth in the national economy would have resulted in the growth of
54 jobs;
o Jobs in the Health care and social assistance industry in Canada increased during
this period as well, therefore job increases (39) can be contributed to the
industry’s overall positive growth;
o The Health care and social assistance job increase in Sioux Lookout was 145, of
which 54 can be attributed to the national economic growth and 39 attributed to
the growth in the Health care and social assistance industry therefore the local
effect was another 52 jobs..

With a loss of 30 jobs between 2001 and 2006, the Accommodation and food services
sector experienced the largest decrease between 2001 and 2006. This loss may be
attributed as follows:

March 31, 2011
o
o
o
Overall job growth in the national economy would have resulted in a growth of 24
Accommodation and food services jobs;
Jobs in the Accommodation and food services industry in Canada had no change;
There were more jobs lost in Sioux Lookout (-30) than can be attributed to the
growth in the national economy (24 jobs). Therefore, Sioux Lookout suffered a
job loss (-54) in excess of what can be attributed to national growth.

Business Pattern Data (June 2003 - June 2008) from Statistics Canada.
5.1 Business Sector Analysis
5.1.1 Growth in Business Numbers
Table 27 (in the Appendix) indicates the number of businesses in each industry from 2003 to
2007. It is important to note that in order for a business to be included in the Canadian Business
Register, a business must meet at least one of the following three criteria:
1. Have an employee workforce for which they submit payroll remittances to Canada
Revenue Agency (CRA); or
2. Have a minimum of $30,000 in annual sales revenue; or
3. Are incorporated under a federal or provincial act and have filed a federal corporate
income tax return within the past three years.
Businesses that are not registered are not included in this section’s data, the number of which
can be significant if they are small businesses.
36
March 31, 2011
Based on Table 27 (in the Appendix), the following are some key observations:
 Overall, more than half the sectors experienced growth in the number of local businesses
from 2003 to 2007.
 The sectors that had strong growth in the number of local businesses from 2003 to 2007
were:

businesses between 2003 and 2007.
5.1.2 Growth in Business Concentrations
Table 28 (in the Appendix) indicates the percentage of businesses by sector from 2003 to 2007.
The top two sectors with the highest concentration of businesses in Sioux Lookout were:
 Construction (increased from 2003 to 2007)
 Retail Trade (decreased from 2003 to 2007).
5.1.3 Growth in Business Concentrations per Capita
Concentration per capita is the ratio of local businesses per capita to provincial businesses per
capita, and indicates the relative concentration or specialization of businesses in different sectors
in the municipality. Any value higher than 1.0 indicates that the local economy has a higher per
capita number of businesses than the provincial ratio.
In Table 29 in the Appendix, we observe that from 2003 to 2007 there are three sectors (Utilities
sector, Accommodation and food services sector, and Public Administration sector) that have a
higher per capita number of businesses compared to the provincial average. All sectors in Sioux
Lookout suffered decreases of concentration per capita from 2003 to 2007.
5.1.4
Growth in Business Concentrations by Sector
Concentration by sector is a ratio indicating the relative specialization of businesses in different
industry sectors across a municipality. Values greater than 1.0 indicate that the local
concentration of businesses in a sector, relative to other sectors in Sioux Lookout, is higher than
the provincial average, indicating a relative local specialization in that sector.
As identified in Table 30 in the Appendix, the following businesses had a higher than average
concentration in Sioux Lookout:
 Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting (increased)
 Mining and oil and gas extraction (increased)
 Utilities (decreased)

6 Economic Development Trends Analysis
6.1 Site Selection Factors
In 2010, the 25th Annual Corporate Survey [8] was conducted to rate site selection factors and
the impact these factors have on planning decisions.20 Highlighted points of the survey are as
follows:
 Highway accessibility and Labour costs are consistently the two most important site
selection factors.
 Occupancy and construction costs is the fourth-place factor, jumping from seventh place
in 2009 and receiving a combined 89.8% importance rating.
 Three related tax factors made the 2010 Corporate Survey respondents’ “top10” – tax
exemptions, state and local incentives and corporate tax rate.
 Availability of skilled labour is always of great importance as a site selector factor.
Interestingly, availability of unskilled labour, which is ranked in the 23rd spot for 2010,
showed the second largest drop in importance among all the site selection factors.
 Inbound/outbound shipping costs is ranked in 8th position in 2010.
 Energy availability and costs is ranked 9th in 2010, from 4th in 2009.
 Environmental regulations moved up five spots in the ranking, from 17th in 2009 to 12th
in 2010.
 Rounding out the top 10 site selection factors is availability of buildings, which received
a combined 81% importance rating from the 2010 survey.
 Availability of advanced ICT services factor showed the largest decrease in its
importance rating.
 In 2010, low crime rate, which is historically ranked as the primary quality-of-life
concern as borne out by the survey’s 25-year record, received an 84.6% importance
rating.

6.2 Economic Forecast21
Table 34 in the Appendix provides the major economic indicators outlook for Canada and Ontario.
The following forecast can be observed:
Canada
 Canada weathered the financial and economic crisis better than most industrialized
countries. [9]
 In 2011, Canadian GDP has a positive forecasted outlook from all banks, especially RBC,
with a growth range of 2.2% to 3.2%. [10]
 Employment has a solid job market performance in 2010. Job creation has been focused
on part-time positions, lower-paying industries, and the public and self-employed
sectors. [9] The unemployment rate has an outlook of a range between 7.5% to 7.6% in
2011 and 7.2% in 2012.
 250,000 net new jobs are expected to improve gradually in 2011 with employers
continuing to meet moderate demand through increased productivity, rather than new
hires. [9]
 Relatively high unemployment rates and moderating wage gains will continue to tame
inflation pressures over the next two years. The Consumer Price Index is forecasted to
be 2.1 to 2.3 in 2011, and 1.9 to 2.0 in 2012.
 The interest rate is expected to remain steady at 2% in 2011. [10]
Ontario
 The pace of Ontario’s economic growth is moderating after a strong manufacturing lead
rebound in early 2010. [9] Ontario’s GDP growth rate is estimated at 2.4% to 3.1% in
2011 and 2.3% to 3.1% in 2012.
 The service sector will anchor most employment gains, with private-sector service
growth counterbalancing cautious hiring in manufacturing and the public sector. [9]
Employment growth is projected to be between 1.1% to 1.9% in 2011 and 1.2% to
2.1% in 2012.
 Ontario’s housing starts are estimated to decline 20.9% in 2011 and to grow 16.0% in
2012.[13] The completion of infrastructure projects accounted for nearly one-fifth of the
growth in real GDP, and will cause some drag, although it is expected to be more than
offset by stronger non-residential investment by business. [9]
Industrial Outlook
Tables 35 to 39 in the Appendix provide the Industrial Outlook for Canada and Ontario. The
following forecast can be observed:
 In Quarter 1 of 2011, Ontario employers report cautiously for a Net Employment Outlook
of +3% for all industries. The Finance, Insurance & Real Estate sector and
Transportation & Public Utilities sector expect relatively high net employment with 10%
and 16% respectively. The net employment outlook in the Mining and Construction
sectors is forecasted to be significantly weaker with -12% and -16% respectively in 2011.

Canada’s goods-producing sectors should outperform the service-producing sectors, as
well as the national economy, in 2010 and 2011. Scotiabank expected the output growth
in the goods-producing sectors to average 5.3% in 2010 and 4.9% in 2011. Much of the
anticipated rebound in production reflects the cyclical replenishing of depleted
inventories, and the strengthening of the primary sectors that are benefiting from the
increasing worldwide demand for energy, mineral, agricultural, and increasingly, forestry
products. [5]
A significant recovery in commodity prices will dominate the outlook for ores, metals and
industrial materials this year, while the weaker-than-expected growth in the US,
particularly in the residential and commercial construction sectors, poses a downside risk
to the forecast. [7]
The oil and gas development sector has increased the most due to the mega-projects
largely concentrated in western Canada. [5] A significant jump in prices for both oil and
gas products will be the main driver of growth in energy exports in 2010. [7] Mineral
exploration and production is on the rise in response to the increased demand and
higher prices for gold, iron ore, copper, zinc and coal. [5]
The Manufacturing sector is poised for the greatest gain [6] – the sector is forecast to
advance a robust 6.6% in 2010 before moderating to 3.6% in 2011. [5]
Canada’s services exports are recovering from a modest decline in 2009 and are posting
more tepid growth rates in 2011 and 2012. [7] Output in the large and diverse service
sector is expected to increase an average of 3.0% in 2010, and post a lower 2.2%
average advance in 2011, [6] while public services will slow significantly. [5] Momentum
has slowed for service sector employment in Ontario after rebounding strongly in
2009.The professional and technical services and financial services industry should be
growth leaders in 2011. [12]
Canadian agri-food exports will rebound in 2011. Lowered export volumes are driven
mainly by supply-side constraints, particularly in the area of grains and oilseeds because
of extreme wet weather conditions in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan[7]
The price jump seen earlier in the year for forestry products will be short-lived, and
conditions in the sector will soften in 2011 and 2012. [7]

The establishments in the "Indeterminate" category do not maintain an employee payroll, but may have a workforce which consists
of contracted workers, family members or business owners. However, the Business Register does not have this information available,
and has therefore assigned the establishments to an "Indeterminate" category. This category also includes employers who did not
have employees in the last 12 months.
