In Alberta, sales rose by 15.8 per cent in May to $5.7 billion but they were still down 15.9 per cent from a year ago
Over three-quarters (75.9 per cent) of wholesalers saw their business activity impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, says Statistics Canada
Sales of $6.5 billion in January were down 1.1 per cent from December and off by 3.9 per cent from a year ago, says Statistics Canada
The retail growth in December was driven by higher sales at building material and garden equipment and supplies dealers, says Statistics Canada
Canadian manufacturing sales increased 0.5 per cent to $688.5 billion in 2019, marking the fourth consecutive year of growth
The decline in November in the province was primarily driven by lower sales at motor vehicle and parts dealers, says Statistics Canada
This is the fourth decline in five months, down 2.4 per cent compared to a national decrease of 1.2 per cent. Total sales were $6.6 billion
Sales in the industry of $6.1 billion in Alberta fell by 2.6 per cent in November from the previous month and by 4.7 per cent year-over-year
Declining sales create concern not only for auto and truck sellers. They are also an indication that the overall economy is in low gear
Wholesale sales in Alberta increased 1.9 per cent to $6.9 billion in September primarily as a result of higher sales in the machinery, equipment and supplies subsector
