The feature article in the November issue provides a comparison between rural and urban-based entrepreneurs in 2004. Canadians residing in rural areas were more likely to be entrepreneurs than those living in urban centres. The Prairie provinces had the highest share of rural-based small and medium enterprises (SMEs), followed by Québec, Ontario, the Atlantic provinces, and British Columbia. Also included in the issue are articles on job creation, which provides a distribution of payroll employment by firm size and industry sector; education attainment by category of self employment and recent trends in insolvencies. In addition, the issue profiles the characteristics of SMEs in Quebec.
