Ontario Labour Market Report

Ontario’s Guide the Labour Market
Why is labour market information important? Labour market information can seem dry, statistical and unrelated to job search, career exploration and educational choice.

High Skill Limited Attachment Opportunities Significant Barriers Labour Question: Who has the most difficulty finding work? Employment Low Skill

Industry Shifts Nearly 42 per cent of the employed Canadian labour force is at a high risk of automation over the next 10 to 20 years.

Globalization According to Statistics Canada, 322,000 manufacturing jobs were lost between 2004 and 2008 in Canada.

Health and the Environment Total Canadian health-care spending has more than doubled, to $219 billion, over the past 15 years, with no comparable across-the-board improvement in quality of health of Canadians. And as a percentage of GDP, Canadian healthcare spending has jumped from 8.3 to 10.3 in that period.

Education and Technology Statistics Canada reports that for the ninth consecutive year, Ontario students are paying the highest tuition fees in Canada. Average tuition fees in the province for will be $8,114 for domestic undergraduate students, up from $7,868 in For domestic graduate students, fees increased to $9,416, up from $9,175 last year. The data also shows that Ontario international student tuition fees increased more than any other province, jumping from $27,627 in to $29,761 this year.

Growth of Self Employment More than half of the 158,000 new positions created last year were in the self-employed category, according to Statistics Canada’s monthly labour report. The private sector did very little hiring and employment among prime-age workers shrank. The country added 91,500 new self-employed jobs in 2015, most of which were in finance, real estate, insurance and leasing.

Aging Population The age group that now encompasses the Baby Boomer generation – 50 to 69 – makes up 27 per cent of the population, compared with 18 per cent in that age group two decades ago. The number of people over 65, the traditional retirement age in this country, make up 16 per cent of the population – double their proportion in 1971.

Diminishing Role of Government Combined federal and provincial debt in this country will top $1.3 trillion this year with Ontario's debt hitting $300 billion. Ontario spends about $11.3 billion a year to service its debt — or more than it its entire welfare system costs. The ministry of community and social services runs on $11.1 billion a year.

Local Labour Markets Go to your city or municipal hall and collect listings of new business license issued looking for businesses that may be moving to your community. It would also be valuable to check in with local real estate offices and the Chamber of Commerce for this same purpose. Set up a Google news alert to let you know about articles that have been written about your profession, industry and specific employers you would like to work for. Tailor these terms to include reference to your town or Ontario and include terms like “hiring,” “new contract”, “expanding” and “recruiting.” Identify industry associations and sector councils (those still existing) related to your profession. Search their websites looking for news items and when you attend networking events and conferences specifically look for instances where someone has left one organization to join another.

Local Labour Markets Read industry publications such as Ontario Industrial Magazine, Canadian Business Journal and the Financial Post looking for companies that are expanding or seeking growth funding. It’s also essential to read the business sections on their websites for Ontario’s daily newspapers looking for new information. Regularly conduct information interviews with local companies to inquire about areas of possible expansion. These conversations can also include competitors who may have received a new contract or are expanding. Regularly review the Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter profiles for companies. Often nuggets will appear in social media that others will miss.

Understanding the Magic Donut Health Care, Education, Accounting, Law, I.T., Manufacturing Forestry, Mining, Construction, Tourism, R&D, Exports, etc. Question: Which of these are good sectors and which are bad? Security, Social Services, Social Services, Sales, Transportation, Retail, Banking, etc.

Which industries employ the most people? This chart shows the distribution of people employed in Ontario in by the major industry groups, also known as sectors. The information is based on Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey. Ontario's economy has changed dramatically over the past 100 years. We have gone from an economy based on primary industries like agriculture, forestry and mining, to a manufacturing economy after World War II, and finally to today's knowledge-intensive service industries and high technology manufacturing economy. Over the decades, the kinds of jobs available have also changed – away from occupations in primary industries and toward a wide variety of professional, technical and service occupations. As this chart shows, there were about four times as many jobs in in service industries as there were in industries that produce products and materials. Among those ‘goods producing’ industries, manufacturing was the largest, although employment in manufacturing has declined significantly since 2004.

Manufacturing Industries Manufacturing industries have the largest share of jobs in the goods- producing sector in Ontario. But changes in the manufacturing sector have been reducing the number of manufacturing jobs – from 17 per cent of all Ontario jobs in 2004 to 11 per cent in 2013. The following chart shows each manufacturing industry's share of the 777,000 manufacturing jobs in Ontario in 2013. Transportation equipment industry is Ontario's largest manufacturing group, with about 21 per cent of all manufacturing jobs. As this industry changes, and more advanced manufacturing processes are used, the greatest demand will be for highly skilled workers. Other manufacturing, including furniture and related products, petroleum and coal products, and non-metallic mineral products is the second largest industry group, employing 20 per cent of manufacturing workers. Food products industry is the third largest industry group with 14 per cent of manufacturing workers. The computer and electronics industry is the eighth largest with a share of five per cent of manufacturing employment.

Did you know… Often, manufacturing industries tend to be located in one area of the province. That's important information when you are thinking about a career. For example, Sarnia and the surrounding area are home to much of the chemical and petroleum industry. The computer and electronics industry is largely based around Ottawa, the Greater Toronto Area, and Waterloo Region, while the auto industry is largely located around Toronto and in Southwestern Ontario. Steel and other primary metal production is heavily concentrated in Hamilton, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury. Food, beverage, textile and clothing manufacturers are located in many different communities in Southern Ontario.

Service-Producing Industries The service sector has been growing quickly and employs more than three quarters of all Ontario workers. There are many different kinds of services industries. This chart shows each service industry's share of the 5.5 million service jobs in It shows that the four largest industries in this sector are: Wholesale and retail trade Health care and social assistance Professional, scientific and technical services Educational services Together, these four provide 53 per cent, or a little over half, of all jobs in the service-producing sector. Because service industries serve the needs of people, job opportunities in these industries can be particularly sensitive to changes in the population, and consumer behaviour. Changes in technology also have a large effect on job opportunities. For example, the use of computer and communications technologies by businesses has resulted in many job opportunities in the professional, scientific and technical service fields.

Did you know… Some service industries tend to be located in particular parts of the province. For example, many of the jobs in finance, insurance, real estate and leasing are found in Toronto. The same is true for professional, scientific and technical services, although many jobs in these areas can also be found in the Ottawa region. Employment in public administration is concentrated in Ottawa and the Greater Toronto Area. Jobs in industries such as retail trade, however, are more evenly distributed around the province. In this case, the number of jobs is affected by the size of the population, with more jobs in larger towns and cities.
