Economy
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the lumber industry, with its corresponding mills, was a primary sector of Fredericton's economy. Over the course of the 20th century, this industry declined and gave way to the provincial government and the universities becoming the primary employers in the city.

An important cultural, artistic, and educational centre for the
province, Fredericton is home to two universities, the New Brunswick College of
Craft and Design, and cultural institutions such as the Beaverbrook Art
Gallery, the Fredericton Region Museum, and The Playhouse, a performing arts
venue. The city hosts the annual Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival, attracting
regional and international jazz, blues, rock, and world artists. Fredericton is
also an important and vibrant centre point for the region's top visual artists.
As a provincial capital, its economy is tied to the public sector; however,
the city also contains a growing IT and commercial sector. The city has the
highest percentage of residents with post-secondary education in the province
and the highest per capita income of any city in New Brunswick.
Fredericton has a humid continental climate. The average January
low temperature is −16 °C (3 °F), while the average high in July is 26 °C (79
°F).[14] On average, Fredericton receives approximately 1,100 mm (43 in) of
precipitation per year. Snowfall is common between late November and early
April, and snow usually stays on the ground beginning in December. Flooding
occurs during the spring of most years on area rivers and affects the city's
low-lying neighbourhoods. Its climate is somewhat influenced by its inland
position, with warmer summers and colder winter nights than expected for
coastal areas of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
