Manitoba Labour Market Information

This report identifies occupations that are currently in high demand in Manitoba, and are expected to continue to be in high demand over the next two years. High demand occupations are those that employers are likely to have difficulties in filling. Most high demand occupations involve a lengthy training period, which prevents rapid adjustment of supply to demand, although a few occupations are included because of active recruitment. For those occupations, there is generally a large supply of qualified or almost qualified people, as they tend to have shorter training periods. Occupations are listed by their National Occupational Classification Code (NOC), but there are a large number of vacancies.

This list provides skills that are currently of interest to employers in Manitoba. While some of the skills are essential across a wide range of occupations, others are related to a specific occupation. Individuals may be able to upgrade their skills while on the job; however, most employers expect employees to already possess the skills they require prior to being hired.

This section lists occupations and skills that are in high demand in Manitoba's Aboriginal reserve communities.
