| Description | Yarmouth includes much of Yarmouth County, the Mi'kmaq community of the Yarmouth reserve and the town of Yarmouth. Fishing and fish processing continue to drive the economy of this riding although tourism, small manufacturing and a call centre employ more people.
Yarmouth is the trade and services center for the southwest region of the province. It's home to two ferries bringing visitors from the United States and an expanded hospital that employs 900 people. A new regional jail is under construction.
The population is 18,820 and is predominantly English-speaking with Acadian areas accounting for about 20 per cent. Unemployment hovers around 11 per cent and the average income is $22,260. Educational levels are below the provincial average with 44 per cent not having completed high school. |
