Canadian net worth rises, as does unemployment claims

(June 20, 2013) -- The gain built off of the 1.4 percent ($107 billion) increase seen in the previous quarter and pushed the aggregate wealth of Canadian households to its highest level on record, said Jeffries. Per capita net worth was $204,800 in the quarter, which was up from $201,400 in the previous quarter and also represented an all-time high.
