While Calgary’s economy has slowed somewhat along with the rest of the world’s, the city still has a tight labour market in need of workers: Calgary’s unemployment rate is lower than the Canadian average.
Projections are that Calgary’s economy will create as many as 244,000 new jobs over the next decade. At the current growth rate, this could mean an even more severe labour shortage for the city, especially within the trades, manufacturing and service sectors.
So what does all this mean for you? Calgary’s doors are wide open, come join us as we get down to work.
