Call Of The West

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Glenn Simon Inc.
"The booming Alberta economy has maxed out the labour pool here," "It means employers here have to go somewhere else and with the manufacturing industry in Ontario facing massive layoffs there is an opportunity there." Ray Edwardson Organizer of the Workwest Career Caravan

Alberta's labour shortage has over 30 companies including Greyhound, Lafarge and Century 21 setting up a job fair in Toronto November 3rd and 4th. Police, fire and transit services are also trawling for career minded people to pick up and move west.

Royalties or no increased labour needs mean more people moving out west that will require quality, affordable housing.

Hi John,

I am not sure how to instruct you on this, but generally speaking Alberta does have a lot of opportunity now. Wages are higher, taxes are lower, unemployment is very low etc.  I cut and paste this from  Alberta Employment Immigration and Industry :

 

"The Alberta labour market is one of the strongest in Canada, offering plenty of opportunities for eager job-seekers. Whether you are just entering the workforce, or looking to change your career path, there are plenty of resources available to help you plan a solid employment future. Start your career or job search by choosing one of the links below.

Qualified staff in offices across the province are available to provide career and employment services to help you with your career planning, work search and job maintenance skills. They can connect you to employers, training options for skills that are in demand and provide guidance on starting a self employment program.

To meet one of our qualified staff in person visit one of the 59 offices located across the province.

More information  about career, employment and training services is available through the Career Information Hotline, JOBS, Student Funding Contact Centre, Labour Market Information Centres or Employment Insurance."
