This report identifies occupations that are currently in high demand
in Manitoba, and are expected to be in high demand over the next
two years.
High demand occupations are those that employers are
likely to have difficulties in filling. These usually involve a
lengthy training period, which prevents rapid adjustment of supply
to demand. 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 the jobs tend to have shorter training
periods. Occupations are listed by their National Occupational Classification Code (NOC). Some
NOC codes were revised in 2001 and they are used where applicable.
These revisions are concentrated in the information technology occupations.
High demand skills can be either generic to many
occupations or specific skills that are required for certain occupations.
Aboriginal communities in Manitoba have several
specific occupations and skills requirements in their communities.
Wage rate information is based on an amalgamation of labour market
data including Statistics Canada Census data, local wage surveys
and various industry reports. It reflects starting and average wages
that a job seeker could expect depending upon their level of experience.
Wages could, however, vary considerably in some occupations depending
on experience, location, non-wage benefits and other factors.
Unforeseen developments, such as significant changes in interest
rates or adjustments in the value of the Canadian dollar, could
significantly alter labour market conditions, even over the short
term. The high-demand occupation list and comments are usually updated
every six months, but may be done more frequently if warranted.
