Ontario qualified for
equalization payments from
the federal government as a
have-not province" Under
the tormula, Detore recent
federal amendments to .en-
sure that Ontario would
never receive payments, On-
tario was entitled to $800
million at the end of 1980.
While one of the reasons On-
tario has become a have-not
is the growth in provincial oil
and gasrevenues from On-

known as the "Land of, Op-
portunli}ty". At. the present
it
time, is not uncommon to
hear the expression "On-
tario is a place to leave". Un-
fortunately, there is a reason
for this attitude and 'it
relates to Ontario's
economy.

cent of the increase • in
Canada's unemployment oc-
' curred in Ontario. The term
"youth employment" is used
when referring to people
between the ages of 15 and
24... -thin= gnoun,-=some._ �,-
117,000 were unemployed in
December. This was a 7,000
increase over the previous
month, and coincidentally, a
7,0,0.0 increase over
December 1979.,. For the
prime earning group. (aged
25 to 54 years), the
unemployment figure- for
December 1980 was; 128,000 -
a 12,000 (10 percent) : in-
crease over December 1979.
The total number of tM
unieinployed in Ontari° was 11• .
266,000, which represented a •
21,000 (8.6.percent) increase
. oyer the previous December
and anincrease of 20,000 (8.1 0:
percent) over November,
1980.
The situation with respect
to permanent and indefinite M
layoffs is;another indication . 0
ofthe seriousness of the
empioyment. picture in this:
province. ' Some 27,910
• workers were placed on per-
manent or indefinite layoff
during -the first 11monthsof
1980.- -
Ontario's - budgetary` posi-
tion is also cause for con-
siderable concern. Accor-
ding to the most recent On-
tario
Finances Report, dated
September 30, 1980, On-
tario's budgetary deficit had
risen 23 percent in six mon-
ths. The mini -budget of
November '13, 1980, pushed
net . cash requirements to
$109 billion, an increase of
Sl percent over .the final
results for 1979-80. Interest
on -the -public debt stands at
$4.4 million per day, com-
pared to $982,000 per day in
- 1971.
Another economic factor
which .cannot be overlooked
is the number of bankrupt-
cies which have occurred.
Over the past ten years,
business bankruptcies in On-
tario have increased tenfold.
In 1979, there were 10,500
bankruptcies in this pro-
vince.
In' its latest . provincial
forecast, dated October 28,
1980, the Conference Board
also ..',predicts that Ontario
will experience a four per-
cent decline in manufactur-
ing output in 1980, while
Alberta will have six percent
growth in manufacturing
output, and Saskatchewan
and Manitoba will also
benefit by strong perfor-
mances in their manufactur-
ing sectors. Ontario is ex-
pected to lag behind the na-'
tional average in manufac-
turing • growth again this
year, 1981.
Other economic factors
which . help to complete an
assessment of the state of
Ontario's economy are the
following:
Growth rate of public in-
`•vestritent, 1970-79: Ontario's
share declined from 37 per-
cent in 1970 to 26.9 percent in
1979.
Growth rate of estimated
values of manufacturing
shipments, '1970-78: On-
tario's share declined from
51.8 percent m 1970 to 49.4
percent in 1978.
Growth rate of private in-
vestment, 1970-79: Ontario's
share declined from 39.3 per-
cent,to 33.4 percent. �
Growth raterof residential
construction 1970-78: On-
tario's share declined from
46.7 percent in 1970 to 33 per -
..cent in 1978.
