BCREA ECONOMICS NOW Canadian Manufacturing Sales - September 16, 2015 Canadian
manufacturing rose for the third time in as many months, increasing 1.7 per cent
on a monthly basis in July. Sales were led by higher shipments of motor vehicle
parts, which accounted for close to two-thirds of the gain. Overall, sales were
higher in 12 of 21 Canadian manufacturing sub-sectors. In BC, where the
manufacturing sector employs roughly 170,000 people, sales rose 0.5 per cent on
a monthly basis and were up 2 per cent year-over-year. For more information, please contact:
