Manitoba is predicting consistent job growth in the province for at least the next six years, according to the Manitoba Labour Market Outlook Report for 2018-2024
“Manitoba’s labour market is balanced, with the overall labour supply approximately equal to labour market demand,” said Growth, Enterprise and Minister Trade Blaine Pederse.
“A total of 168,700 job openings are expected to be created between 2018 and 2024, with unemployment projected to decline slightly over the next five years.”
The information in the report can help employers to plan ahead and determine the workplace skills they will need to grow their business, said Pedersen.
“It also helps jobseekers identify in-demand sectors in our economy to help inform their career decisions.”
Key findings:
• About 24,100 total job openings per year.
• Occupations in sales and service, business, finance and administration, education, law, social services, community and government services are expected to see the most openings, for a combined total of 83,300 jobs.
• Sixty per cent of future job openings will require some post-secondary education and training.
