TORONTO—The average income, as measured by per person GDP, continues to be lower in Ontario by CA$16,607 compared to its regional American neighbours, and the gap is only getting worse, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan, Canadian public policy think-tank.
“When we compare the average income of Ontarians relative to Americans in neighbouring states, the situation is getting worse,” said Ben Eisen, senior fellow at the Fraser Institute and co-author of Measuring Ontario’s Regional Prosperity Gap.
