Labour Market Shifts in Atlantic Provinces

OTTAWA, ON – CNW Telbec/ - Canada’s Atlantic provinces are preparing for labour market shifts complicated by limited workforce growth, according to a new forecast by The Construction Sector Council (CSC). The CSC new nine-year forecast for New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador breaks down labour requirements by trade and province. For example, in New Brunswick, the 2009 recession passed with limited job losses in construction thanks to new housing and ongoing industrial, commercial and institutional projects, whereas Newfoundland and Labrador, by contrast, will experience a downturn in housing construction.
“Our challenge is to have a steady supply of skilled workers available when and where they are needed,” said George Gritziotis, Executive Director of the Construction Sector Council. “To do that, our industry needs to keep promotion and recruitment on the front burner at all times, and encourage mobility within the region.”
The complete report for Atlantic Canada is available online at www.csc-ca.org.
