Labour Market Information (LMI)

LMI is accurate knowledge, facts and

statistics that tell a story about what is

happening in a particular place from the

perspective of the supply and demand of

labour.

LMI helps • To identify labour market supply / demand

• To get a profile of current labour market

conditions

• To understand and recognize trends in the labour market

• To predict outlooks for various occupational groups based on a variety of structural factors (economic, demographic, social, political)

• To provide input for and stimulate further research into informed employment and career decisions

• Population growth and age characteristics

• Migration patterns

• Educational attainment

• Occupation characteristics

• Other data– GTA analysis, KPI reports, apprenticeship, job generation & loss rates

The Bigger Picture

• More than half of the workforce of 2015 is

already in the labour market

• The next cohort of youth workers will be

smaller than in the past

• By 2011, immigration will account for all net

labour force growth in Canada

Shortfall of Workers to Rise

• And … it may rise to at least 200,000 to as high as 1.8 million by 2031

• Expected deficit of 40,000 workers 2011-2012

• By 2031 77% of the workforce will require a post secondary education

Labour Market Projections

Retirement Rates

High retirement rates within NOC-B/C occupations and primary sector but not within NOC-A professional fields (some exceptions)

Job Creation Predictions (Ontario Futures)

• 22% jobs to require university degree

• 29% jobs to require college diploma

• 29% jobs to require grade 12 or training

In 2006, there were an estimated 20,760 residents in the labour force & 6,290 jobs in

Durham’s core construction sector.

Support industries there were an estimated 27,215 residents in the labour force and

16,795 jobs in Durham Region.

For the core construction sector, over ½ labour force has attained a high school diploma

(26.9%) or apprenticeship training (26.5%)

Contrast these attainment rates with support industries, and the highest educational

attainment is a college diploma (31.9%) followed by a high school diploma (27.3%)

university degrees (23.1%).

Construction Report 2012

Construction Skill Requirements

Job requirements range from the completion of secondary school and WHMIS training to advanced university degrees and experience.

In June 2011, there were an estimated 4,469 businesses in Durham Region in the core construction sector.

Nearly 3,000 (66% of the total) of these businesses were specialty trade contractors. Over 7,500 businesses are engaged in support industries in Durham Region.

The largest component of the support industries is classified under professional, scientific and technical services (4,690 businesses or 62% of the total).

The Service Trades

There are over 150 apprenticeable trades in the Province of Ontario. Forty of them—over 25%—fall into the service sector. Though the trades in this sector are diverse, one common denominator unites them – they all deliver a service

Apprenticeable trades are defined as those with a formal on-the-

job training program set by industry and the Ministry of Training,

Colleges and Universities.

Agricultural Services

• Agriculture - Dairy Herdsperson

• Agricultural Fruit Growers

Agriculture in Durham

Agriculture plays a major role in Durham’s economy. The Region harvests a diverse variety of products on 336,000 rich and arable acres of agricultural land. One of Ontario’s leading agricultural producers, Durham is responsible for $240 million annually in gross farm receipts.

Agriculture sustains and stimulates wholesale and retail food production, as well as many other industries, including manufacturing, packaging and transportation.

Skill Shortages & Wages Skilled tradespeople are in short supply in Durham, according to the Agriculture Labour Market Survey. Employers find that many candidates don’t have a general knowledge of farm regulations, or the commodity-specific knowledge or experience they need. Farmers also find that fewer employees are interested in time-intensive farmwork. However, many farmers cannot pay skilled workers competitive wages. Hardest-hit by these related problems are fruit and vegetable farmers, with 87% of operators reporting a shortage of workers.

Culinary Services

• Institutional Cooks • Bakers • Chef

Employers Ajax Convention Centre, Deer Creek and the General Motors Centre Lakeridge Health, Ontario Shores Centre, childcare centres & long-term care facilities Culinary opportunities also exist throughout Durham in the region’s many and varied restaurants.

Employment prospects Organizations surveyed hope that the Institutional Cook trade will soon become the standard for long-term care facilities, hospitals, correctional institutions, etc., a goal shared by the Ontario and Canadian Societies of Nutritional Managers.

Environmental and Green Services

• Arborists,

• Horticultural Technician

• Utility Arborist

Employers Municipal governments, Ontario Power Generation Nurseries & greenhouses, landscape management companies and golf courses. Some horticultural technicians and arborists are sometimes self-employed.

Employment prospects Environmental and green service trades are experiencing steady to strong demand. Employers are recruiting large numbers of Utility Arborists. Despite the popularity of Durham College’s new Horticulture Technician program, many employers struggle to find trained and qualified people.

http://www.tcu.gov.on.ca/eng/employmentontario/training/pdf/441C_Eng.pdf

Human Services

• Child and Youth Workers

• Child Development Practitioners

• Developmental Services Workers

• Educational Assistants

Employers School boards, group homes or in private homes, or for government, community agencies, hospitals, and correctional facilities.

Employment prospects Even though Human Services are apprenticeable trades, the successful completion of an apprenticeship will not secure a position. (Ontario’s College of Early Childhood Educators (CECE), for example, does not recognize the Child Development Practitioner apprenticeship.) Most employers require their employees to be members of the professional association governing their industry provincial governing body, and apprenticeship alone will not qualify a worker to join. Apprenticeship is still worth pursuing.
