3 Foreword The of the Nova Scotia Department of Finance is the Nova Scotia Statistics Agency as defined by the Nova Scotia Statistics Act. The Division operates as the government s statistical focal point for liaison with Statistics Canada and for dissemination of general socioeconomic and demographic information to provincial users, with a special emphasis on government needs. Our mission in producing the annual Nova Scotia Statistical Review is to disseminate key Statistics Canada and other source data, thus providing a comprehensive overview of the province and its economic performance. The Review includes a very broad scope of statistical information, including population, labour force, prices and incomes, exports, education, tourism and other data. This Review provides a substantial amount of timely subprovincial data to users annually. An Important Notice Regarding SIC/NAICS: With the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the statistical agencies of Canada, the United States and Mexico have developed a common statistical framework that facilitates analysis of the economic and industrial structures of the three economies. This new classification system is referred to as the North America Industry Classification System (NAICS) and, in Canada, will replace the Standard Industrial Classification, 1980 (SIC 1980). Statistics Canada is currently engaged in a long term project to convert economic and industrial statistics from SIC 1980 to NAICS. At the present time, Statistics Canada still produces Gross Domestic Product by Industry on a SIC 1980 basis. Therefore, the sectoral organization of this report remains on a SIC 1980 basis. A number of key indicators including employment by industry, and public and private investment intentions have been converted to NAICS. Although the industry descriptions under NAICS do not correspond perfectly to those under SIC 1980, NAICS data has been added to ensure the most complete picture possible to each of the province s industries. Provincial Gross Domestic Product by Industry is scheduled to be converted to NAICS in Autumn In addition to the annual Nova Scotia Statistical Review, the maintains an Internet site < and regularly release numerous other publications. We trust you will find the 2001 Nova Scotia Statistical Review a beneficial research tool. We welcome any comments or suggestions you may offer from your experience working with this publication. i
