Labor Market
As a culturally diverse province, Manitoba has allured people from all over the world who seek a better life.
As a result, over 26% of the population are immigrants and over 100 languages are spoken in the province. This diversity is a boon for call centers and companies looking to make connections around the world
It is estimated that by 2025 there will be 141,700 job openings, with 60,300 new openings (43%) due to economic growth and 81,400 (57%) replacement openings (for example, replacement of retirees). Of the total of these openings, it is expected that 56% will require higher education and 44% may not require the same education, but will have technical or demand-specific requirements.
Half of the openings in the province will be concentrated in the following segments:
- 19,8% Sales and service
- 19,4% Trade, transportation, equipment operators
- 12,2% Education, law, social and community services
