Hundreds of Cape Breton municipal employees will reach retirement age in the next few years.
If you’re thinking about moving to Alberta, or if you’re already here and you’re looking for a job, the Business Council of Alberta wants to help you better understand the changing labour market — including who’s hiring.According to the Business Council of Alberta's new report, health care and the trades have seen the biggest need for workers in recent years.
According to the report, all types of engineering saw a 60 per cent decrease in job postings, compared to five years prior. That means it could be difficult to find a job in that field in Alberta right now. Job postings in both of those occupations have increased at rates that outpace population growth each year — 16 per cent and 13 per cent, respectively, said the report.
He said the construction industry in particular was in rough shape in the years before the pandemic. Many workers left the province during the downturn to find work in other provinces, but they didn't return in the same numbers. Record numbers of people are moving to Alberta, and that means the province needs more infrastructure — from housing, to schools, to grocery stores — to accommodate the growing population.
