Construction Sector: Julianne Ross Brooks

Julianne Ross Brooks: The anticipated decrease in hiring in the construction sector and the demand for workers for mining are two major changes for this upcoming quarter, Julianne Ross Brooks of Manpowers Halifax office said Tuesday, according to The Chronicle Herald. Younger labourers and skilled workers will be affected by this situation and may be drawn to hiring in the sector underway in Ontario and in Western Canada, Ross Brooks said and The construction industry in Atlantic Canada will be in a bit of a hiring slump in the first quarter of 2014, while the mining industry will be hungry for workers, according to the latest Manpower Employment Outlook Survey. About 18 per cent of employers in the construction sector in the region planned to hire more people in the last quarter of this year, and none plan to hire additional workers in the first quarter of 2014, according to the survey.
