2012—2022 Labour Market Outlook Highlights

Total job openings 1,000,000

Retirements 669,800 (68%)

Economic Growth 315,400 (32%)

A tight labour market is expected in BC from 2019-2022

“Overall, labour demand is expected to grow faster than labour supply in BC. As a result, aste t a abou supp y C s a esu t,tight labour market conditions, where the demand for workers surpasses the supply of workers, are expected in later part of the outlook period, starting in 2019.”This might impact the supply of teachers if there is competition to hire well-educated, adaptable and skilled employees, particularly from private sector employers.

Some demographic reflections

Districts with consistent patterns over time (Stikine Conseil scolairetime (Stikine, Conseil scolairefrancophone)

Districts with patterns that have changed (Sooke, Surrey, West Vancouver)

Districts that look like they have stayed the same but are likely to change (Nanaimo-Ladysmith, Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows)

Labour Market Issues

Are the retirement/expansion predictions accurate? If so considerable demandaccurate? If so, considerable demand for teachers.

If there is an acute labour shortage, might some teachers exit teaching and change careers?

Might the working conditions of teaching impact retention and attrition in a tightening labour market?

Variations across BC

Where housing is relatively cheaper and employment is accessible schoolemployment is accessible, school districts are more likely to have significant student enrolment growth, with young families moving to districts like Surrey and Sooke

Industrial development: expansion or p pcontraction would impact where growth or declines take place in non-metro areas (LNG?)
