Is the Metropolitan Vancouver Economy Uncoupling from the Rest of the Province?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Over the one-year period 1990-1991, average annual employment in metropolitan Vancouver expanded by 24,000 while employment in the rest of the province decreased by 4,000 (Statistics Canada, 1990; 1991 ). By January 1991, 55 per cent of the jobs in the province were in the metro politan Vancouver economy, up from 53 per cent from the previous year. This trend has been relatively steady since 1984, when Vancouver's share of provincial employment was 48 per cent ( Greater Vancouver Regional District, 1991 ). The stream of migrants from the rest of the province (and from other provinces) looking for work in the Vancouver region is likely to continue, perhaps intermittently, throughout the future (McRae, 1992). Growth of the Vancouver economy can be attributed in part to to the rapidly expanding economies of the Asia Pacific. Studies of the export propensities of Vancouver firms have pointed to the increase in export activity, both relative to total sales and in absolute terms. For ex ample, Hayter and Barnes (1990) conducted an examination of export performance of Vancouver manufacturing and service firms in a period characterized by the serious recession of the early 1980s. From their analysis of a sample of 129 producer service firms, they observed that exports were noticeably more important in 1986 than they were in 1981 ; in the case of the service sector, the export ratio almost doubled (Hayter and Barnes, 1991:165). Successive surveys over the period 1971-1990 of producer services in the metropolitan economy have shown a marked shift in the destination of sales from the local market and the rest of the province to the United States and, progressively, to nations of the Asia Pacific (Davis, 1976; Ley and Hutton, 1987; Davis and Hutton, 1991).2 Over the last two decades, the Vancouver economy has Continually evolved from its

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
