Personal income per capita (and more!)

Question

A patron is looking for any/all of the following:

Market income per capita
Disposable income per capita
Personal income per capita

Most importantly, he is looking for these variables from 1957-present (annually up to 5 year intervals) and he wants to compare provinces to the national average.

I think I can find some of these if I dig hard enough, but I was hoping someone might have a source at the tips of their
fingers. It could be a data or statistical source.

Answer

CANSIM table 380-0050 has personal income, personal disposable income, and income per capita, by province, annually from 1926-1990.

384-0012 has personal income and personal disposable income from 1980-2004, by province.

Any series that are totals can be divided by the estimated population for the same year, to produce per capita figures, no? The economists on this list will, I am sure, correct me if I am wrong here.

202-0201 has market income, from 1980-2003, for different economic family types, by province.

Since Stats Can defines market income as: Average market income is the sum of earnings (from employment and self-employment), investment income, (private) retirement income, and items under "Other income". It is equivalent to total income minus government transfers. see:
http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/famil22a.htm

You should therefore be able to derive market income from 1961-1991 from appropriate series in CANSIM table 384-0034, and earlier numbers from the print volumes of the National income and expenditure accounts (13-531).

  3. I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

    tremendous difference in the pace and ease in which you can achieve your jobs
    and possibly even make the endeavor or chore quite exciting and a person that you no lengthier despise undertaking.

  6. There are also those who render physical therapy assistance to recuperating patients
    in hospitals. While in the past a basic personal trainer certification was
    sufficient, those candidates on the cutting edge of fitness industry
    standards now present themselves with a certification in addition to a bachelor's degree, as well as
    certifications in ancillary disciplines. Im glad that I made the decision to become a personal trainer.
