knowledge based creative economy. Some argue that the economic crisis has tilted the playing field
away from men, who have borne the brunt of blue collar job losses, and towards women, who are
more concentrated in knowledge and service work. Using data from the American Community Survey
(ACS) of the U.S. Census Bureau, this report provides a numbers-driven look at the status of women
in today’s job market, nationally and state-by-state (plus the District of Columbia). We develop a measure of the “location premium” states which provide for women overall and for women in the Creative Class. Utilizing several metrics we then develop a “Women’s Earnings Index” which we use to rank the best states for women—in the labor market overall and for Creative Class jobs in particular.

it is and how to measure it. While engendering growth and bolstering competitiveness remain high
on the agenda, immediate attention has shifted to creating jobs, lifting wages, addressing inequality, and fostering long-term, sustainable prosperity. This new edition of the Global Creativity Index (GCI), which we first introduced in 2004, provides a powerful lens through which to assess these issues.

On August 15th, 2010, the Financial Times published an article stating that recently released figures from the International Monetary Fund show that China had surpassed Japan as the second-largest economy in the world and predicted that China will maintain its lead going forward . This is an astonishing feat for an emerging economy, as Japan had previously held the second-place position for over four decades. In recent years, China has outperformed other large emerging economies such as Brazil, Russia and India. As a result, it is important to examine China more closely and understand what is occurring within the country as it continues to grow and develop as a global leader.

trends in the labour force in terms of three major occupational groupings: the
Creative Class, Service Class, and Working Class. To date, this body of literature
has largely ignored the implications of the training and/or receipt of education
for new immigrants for their labour market success and potential mobility both
within and between classes. This study uses the Longitudinal Study of Immigrants
to Canada (LSIC) to describe basic trends in new immigrant integration into the
Canadian labour force, as segregated by these major occupational groupings.

Each of these figures refers to the influences of Canada’s metropolitan regions and collectively signify the crucial role that our urban regions play. This report shows that metropolitan areas are home to 68% of the nation’s population, 90% of our immigrants, and 96% of Canada’s visible minority population (and 67% of the eligible voters).

of achieving substantially higher levels of accessibility. In 2010, the Province will introduce five proposed standards through which the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), 2005 will be implemented. These standards are intended to achieve substantially higher levels of accessibility. Our study reviews the economic impact of increased accessibility on individuals, on markets, and on social units. We find that there are opportunities at all three levels to realize non-trivial economic gains through enabling a higher number of Ontarians to participate fully in the province’s economy.
