Science Fields: Foreign Workers

foreign workers: But a significant stream of foreign workers are filling vacancies in health and science fields, and working as mechanical engineers, implying there is something fundamentally wrong with the system, according to The Chronicle Herald. Employment in Nova Scotia is in decline and trailing every other province. Small businesses are turning in droves to foreign workers. Highly-paid scientific and technical workers are being brought in to fill skilled positions for which Nova Scotians are ill-equipped. The number of job seekers is growing, and across the province the unemployment rate is up in all five economic regions and It is well known that foreign workers do the grunt work of picking crops and processing fish by hand. They are also being called in to work as cooks and kitchen hands. The labour market is failing to deliver the right graduates with the right skills at a time when the provincial labour force stands at a record-high level and local employers claim they cant fill jobs locally.
