THE REVIEW 9781-2nd St., Sidney B.C.

by Ann M.Smith
Just in. case there was ever any
doubt, there’s more evidence that
the entrepreneurial spirit in Can-

. ada. is alive and well. And that,

say the experts, is good news.

The most recent proof comes
from Statistics Canada showing
that between 1975 and 1986 the
number of sclf-employed wor-
kers in this country rose an
impressive 54 per cent —- more
than double the rate recorded for
paid workers.

The report also concludes that
by 1986, 1.6 million workers (in
other words, one out of seven
working Canadians) were work-
ing for themselves.

It isn’t difficult to see why
these figures are so popular. In
short, the Statistics Canada num-
bers suggest that, for the most
part, Canadians are adapting
quite nicely to the changing
nature of Our economy: in other
words, as large corporations are
forced to “downsize” (that polite
buzzword for “‘layoffs’’) their
operations, displaced workers are
able to arm themselves with the
necessary tools to go out and
start their own businesses.

John Bulloch, president of the
Canadian Federation of Inde-
pendent Business, says he isn’t at
all surprised by. the results.

“The overwhelming evidence
in this country points to a very
healthy entrepreneurial cul-

in self-employed workers (85.6
per cent) during the 1975- 86
period.

_ The already diversified econ-
omy of Prince Edward Island, on
the other hand, had a marginal
rise of 1Q.1 per cent. This, says
Bulloch, reflects a much-needed
shift away from traditional eco-
nomic bases by British Colum-
bian workers.

Another encouraging sign is
the 67 per cent increase in the
number of self-employed wor-
kers with paid help (employees).
These entreprencurs, says Bul-
loch, are in large part responsible
for Canada’s outstanding record |
in job creation.

With 85 per cent of all new
jobs coming from Canada’s
small business sector Canada’s
small business sector during this
same period of time, self-
employed workers are obviously
serious contributors to this envi-
able track record.
