Canada: it's time to take a fresh look
Article Abstract:
US site seekers should consider operating their husinesses in Canada because of the benefits the nation has to offer in terms of location, workers, technology and operating costs. The country's government run-health system can help employers save because of the Canadian dollar's rate of 65 to 70 cents to the US dollar. In addition, average monthly health-care costs for a family of four only amount to $72 Canadian. A highly educated and skilled workforce is another of Canada's attractions. The rapid growth of the high-technology sector is also to the advantage of relocating firms.
