St. John's summary
St. John's is the provincial capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, making it the seat of the provincial Crown; at a 2006 census population 100,646 (metropolitan
population 181,113), it is the largest city in that province, and the oldest English-founded city in North America.
St. John's economy has been continuously connected both to its role as a regional/national/provincial capital and to the ocean. Today, its continued growth is as much tied
to what lies beneath the ocean – oil and gas – as what swims in or travels across the ocean. The city's economy is growing quickly, and the city has been identified as having
one of the highest proportion of scientists and engineers per capita of any city under one million population in North America. Economic forecasts suggest that the city will
continue its strong economic growth in the coming years not only in the "oceanic" industries mentioned above, but also in tourism and new home construction as the population
continues to grow. A
This growth in St. John's and its surrounding suburban municipalities, particularly Paradise (+31%), Flatrock (+7%), Torbay (+15%), Conception Bay South (+11%) and Portugal
Cove-St. Philip's (+12%) (all percentages indicate 2001-2006 growth) (St. John's metro area: +5% population; The rest of the province: -1.5% population). Many feel that the
growth in St. John's has not particularly spread to the rest of the Province.
