Labour Shortage: Immigration

Baby Boomers Dept: It's no joke for employers. The labour shortage that plagued Alberta with long lines for service and inflated costs for purchases from burgers to upgraders is back, according to Vancouver Sun. In fact, things may be worse this time around given an expected wave of retirements in 2011 - the year when baby boomers start turning 65, and healthy economies in regions that traditionally send labour to Alberta and eDMONTON - An executive from a big-name construction company drew laughs at a recent business conference when he urged everyone in the room to go home and make babies - so dire is the need for workers in Alberta. The underlying factors never went away even when the economy tanked in late 2008 and 2009, argues Mike Corbett, senior vice-president of David Aplin Recruiting. As reported in the news.
