Re: Cost of living in Halifax, NS
No, I dont believe that to be inaccurate. I think that there is a mix, depending on what line of work you are in.
If you are eductated you can do better here, if not, not so much chance.
Yes the wages are less but so is the mortgage on my house, for us it all evens out

I think you need to be extremely careful as not too offend people by saying that about education!
Both my husband and I are educated (not as well as you, obviously) but NS has prevented us both from doing well with its small minded attitude hence the reason for leaving as soon as possible.
I think its great when people do well here, but for some (lots) its an extremely frustrating place to 'try' and get on and the point that houses are cheap has little bearing on why on earth I'd want to stay.

Re: Cost of living in Halifax, NS
I find that to be less true for Nova Scotia than NL - Who you know may help you get a foot in the door but ultimately its the "what you know" that gets you the job
I have lived in NS and currently work out of NS so have some qualifications to stick my oar in a bit
ps - I personally think that Nova Scotia is a bit shit and I dont think I would ever make the move from the UK to NS without either a big safety net or a well paying job
