Professions in Demand
Studies in both the United States
and Canada have shown that job creation increases and the economy
improves as the number of immigrants swells. Immigrants are, as
a group, better educated than Canadians and since 1967, when the
government introduced its point system, the selection process
favours those with marketable skills.
According to a survey by Canadas Federation
of Independent Business, one out of 20 jobs remains unfilled because
of an inability to find suitably skilled labour. This represents
about 250,000 to 300,000 vacant jobs in small- and medium-sized
businesses alone. The lack is not just in professions that require
higher education. The worst off are employers looking for skilled
construction workers, who reported 7.7 percent of jobs went unfilled.
They are followed closely by the business services and agriculture
sectors. Hospitals and the personal service sector ranked tenth
at 3.8 percent. The need is greatest in Manitoba, Ontario and
Alberta.
