Employment at all time high in the Province
Quote:
Employment in Newfoundland and Labrador has grown to record highs, and there are more people working in the province than at any other time in our history. That's according to Dan Crummell, the MHA for St. John's West and recently-appointed parliamentary secretary in the department of Advanced Education and Skills. Crummell told VOCM Open Line with Bill Rowe that the government expects there will be 70-thousand job openings between now and 2020. They've created a document called Outlook 2020, which is available online, that outlines job prospects in the province in the coming years.
Crummell says they will need people from all different skill sets to fill the jobs.

BY THE WAYYYY 2020 is in only
7 years!! not bad!! not bad! for a place where for the past I dunno good 50 years we have been losing jobs .. to get an average of 10,000 CREATED per year (the 70,000 on average spread out over the 7 years to 2020)
now remember that unemplyment rate here doesn't necesarily mean lack of jobs .. due to much seasonal work outside the city. (also MANY people work under the table AND collect EI .. which I DO NOT agree with but unfortunately it happens and happens often)
