Ten years ago, commentators were telling Americans their northern neighbor was a middle-class success story. Now, every province has lower median earnings than every state.
Last month I wrote a post about a comparison of GDP per capita between U.S. states and Canadian provinces. It found that Ontario would be the fifth-poorest U.S. state, Quebec would be second-poorest, and Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, or Prince Edward Island would each be the poorest U.S. state, as measured by economic output per person.
