Description

Over the last decade, Alberta's economy has been one of the strongest in Canada. The province enjoys high wages and low unemployment. In 2007, Alberta's unemployment rate fell to 3.6%, below the 5% level that is often used to indicate a balanced labour market. The low unemployment rate in Alberta raised concerns about skill shortages. There are a number of factors that influence skill shortages, one of which is an aging labour force. Although both Canada and Alberta are experiencing an aging labour force, it is unlikely to directly create a widespread skill shortage. Proper planning and collaboration among government, industry and educational institutions may reduce the impact of aging on labour supply although pockets of skill shortages may still occur.

Description

In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) participating in Alberta's labour market. This is a trend largely related to the strong performance of Alberta's economy. Until 2006, less than one per cent of the province's total labour force was TFWs. However, with the federal changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program in 2007 and Alberta's growing economy at the time, the province saw a significant spike in the number of TFWs in the province to a high of almost 58,000 in 2008. In 2010, Teresa Woo-Paw, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Employment and Immigration, was mandated to carry out a series of public consultations to identify where the TFW Program fits in Alberta's labour force planning, what role TFWs fill in Alberta's labour market and how to ensure the program is best serving the needs of Albertans. Over an eleven-week period, 14 consultation sessions were held in 12 different communities across...
