(Vancouver) British Columbians have strikingly different lifestyles and financial priorities because of their strikingly different assets and debts, according to new analysis released today by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
"Upstairs, downstairs and in between: The assets and debts of British Columbians" is the third in a series of CCPA papers that analyze the distribution of wealth. The figures, collected for Statistics Canada's recent Survey of Financial Security, were obtained by special order for CCPA and are the only data of their kind ever published.
