Labour Market
Trends in Ontario
May 1, 2003 Labour Market Information and Research Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities
The main forces shaping Ontario’s labour market are:
Growing demand for higher levels of skill and education.
An aging population resulting in slower labour force growth and higher rates of retirement, leading to possible skills shortages.
Growing reliance on immigration to meet the demand for skills and for labour force growth.

Possible Skills Shortages: What are Skills Shortages?
A skills shortage is an imbalance, or gap, that occurs when the demand for workers with a particular set of skills exceeds the available supply of those workers in the labour market.
Skills shortages may be cyclical or structural, short-lived or persistent.
Cyclical skill shortages occur with economic cycles. They are a normal feature of dynamic economies and labour markets.
Demand > Supply
May 1, 2003 Labour Market Information and Research Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities
The demand is “effective”; the jobs offer typical (prevailing) wages and conditions.
The market does not clear the mismatch in a reasonable period of time.
Skills shortages exist only if…….
Possible Skills Shortages: What are Skills Shortages?
May 1, 2003 Labour Market Information and Research Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities
Various tools can be used for measuring skill shortages. Each of these tools has significant limitations.
It is important to be aware that there is no agreed-upon, definitive method for identifying or projecting skill shortages.
Possible Skills Shortages: Methodology
May 1, 2003 Labour Market Information and Research Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities
Studies of skills shortages therefore tend to be sponsored by sectors or employer groups, to measure the opinions of employers, and to be on an ad hoc basis, covering specific sectors of the economy or specific occupations. As a result, the surveys are frequently subjective, are not comparable across sectors and occupations, and may not be very reliable.
In general, employer surveys tend to over-state the extent of skills shortages.
Possible Skills Shortages: Economic Indicators
May 1, 2003 Labour Market Information and Research Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities
MTCU maintains a database of economic indicators to monitor and assess current occupational supply issues in Ontario. These are:
Labour Force Survey
Employment and unemployment rates
Employment and average hourly earnings of full-time employees
HRDC Administrative Data
Employment insurance claimants
Work permits granted to individuals to work in Ontario by 4-digit occupation
Census
Employment by 4-digit occupation, 1991 and 1996
Possible Skills Shortages: Economic Indicators
May 1, 2003 Labour Market Information and Research Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities
Use of these indicators suggests the following occupations appeared to have been experiencing tight labour market conditions in 2002:
Registered nurses
Medical Radiation Technologists
Tool and Die Makers
Construction Managers
Heavy-duty Equipment Mechanics
Other Repairers and Servicers
Technical Sales Specialists, Wholesale Trade
Writers
Editors
Retail Trade Supervisors
Supervisors, Plastic and Rubber Products Manufacturing

Occupational Health and SafetyLawyersParalegal and Related OccupationsIndustrial and Manufacturing EngineersElectrical and Electronics Engineering Technologists and
TechniciansOccupational Therapists
Possible Skills Shortages: Economic Indicators
May 1, 2003 Labour Market Information and Research Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities
These indicators provide one source of data which must be “tested” against other reports such as employer surveys.
They are not standalone indicators of skill shortages. Furthermore, they reflect conditions in the recent past but not necessarily the present or the future.
They do not apply to non-competitive (regulated) labour markets (e.g. nursing) where factors such as government fiscal pressures may be affecting occupational supply or demand.
They are constrained by data availability (aggregation, skill, job vacancies) and do not reflect sub-occupations or local markets where shortages may exist.
Possible Skills Shortages: Employer Reports
May 1, 2003 Labour Market Information and Research Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities
Employer reports, often in the form of surveys by industry associations or Statistics Canada, are an important method of obtaining information on possible skills shortages.
Despite their weaknesses, employer reports are valuable because employers are closest to market realities, and because employer reports of recruitment or retention difficulty reflect both demand and supply conditions.
Employer reports can also provide information on shortages in regulated areas of the economy.

Ontario Occupational Projections
MTCU, with HRDC Ontario Region, conducts occupational projections for Ontario.
These show the number of job openings we expect for over 500 detailed occupations for the coming five years; the current projections are for 2002-2007.
These take into account expected job openings due to expansion of the number of jobs in the occupation, as well as expected job openings to replace existing workers who are retiring.
These are NOT projections of future shortages or demand/supply conditions because they do not take account of the supply side – the number of people who will be available with the skills necessary to take these jobs as they come available.
Information on job prospects and other information is used in Ontario Job Futures, which provides career planning information for 157 occupations.
