78 Economic Structue Calgary's Economic Diversity Economic Structure is a measure of economic diversity. Using the Hachman Index and employment by industry data, this measure benchmarks the economic structure of Calgary to that of Canada as a whole. The higher the number the higher the implied diversity in employment (highly diverse =1 and not diverse =0). For example, if Calgary s economic structure were exactly like Canada s then it would score a 1. If it were nothing like Canada s it would score a 0. We can say, over the years Calgary has become more diverse in employment - more than it has ever been before! Source: The Conference Board of Canada; Statistics Canada;
