The Asia Pacific Gateway Skills Table (APGST) and its partners developed this report to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information on employment needs over a 5- and 10-year forecast period, with a focus on key occupations in the Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor (APGC). Reports are also available covering sector outlooks and occupational snapshots for 34 occupations considered essential to the APGC. The snapshots contain detailed supply and demand information, highlights, and data tables. Reports can be found at lmionline.ca.
This forecast provides valuable information that can be used to facilitate labour market planning for decision makers and employers, and can help workers make informed choices about their careers and futures. Forecasts are developed with a leading-edge economic modeling system using data from a variety of reliable sources, and are validated by key stakeholders. The statements and assessments of labour market conditions in this report are based on forecasts; they are “expected” conditions and outcomes relative to the economic conditions used to create the information.
The APGST generates the information in these reports from a labour market forecast based on three economic scenarios: the High Investment Scenario, Moderate Investment Scenario, and Low Investment Scenario. Definitions of these scenarios and a full description of labour market metrics used in the analysis can be found in Appendix A. The analysis that follows, unless otherwise indicated, is based on a Moderate Investment Scenario, which takes into account projects that are planned and likely to proceed. Provincial information is included for British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in Appendix B. The data tables for the APGC, by sector and economic scenario, are provided in Appendix C.

Executive Summary
British Columbia’s geographic location provides a natural advantage as the gateway between North America and Asia. Each of the provinces in the Corridor has vastly different labour, recruitment, and retention challenges. The location of BC’s ports means the sailing time to markets in Asia is two days less than it is from other ports in the Western hemisphere. This adds intensity to British Columbia’s potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry and its rich natural resource base; together with the impact of changing oil projects in Alberta, and changes in metals mining in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, there is substantial variability in the economy across the four provinces. If the developments in the Moderate or High Economic Scenarios come to pass in the next decade, then competition for labour will increase dramatically in what is already a very tight labour market for skilled and experienced occu-pations. If the conditions in the Low Scenario dominate the decade, then the challenge across the provinces will be the replacement of experienced workers, who will retire in large numbers.
The support and maintenance of the APGC and its labour force is considered central to supporting expansion in the Canadian economy; a robust and flexible transportation sector will be required to truly capture the area’s full potential. A skilled, mobile labour force will also be essential. The APGC Labour Market Information (LMI) Project provides the foundation for insight into the labour conditions for APG businesses. By doing so, it supports the strong function of this central element of Canada’s economy.
The APGC is forecast to continue to grow during the 10 years of the forecast as trade activity between North America and Asia continues to be a key economic driver for the APGC economy. This growth will intensify the need for an available, well-trained workforce. The forecast shows that employers will face some challenges in hiring the workers they need in the 34 occupations starting in 2017, and the situation will remain challenging through the balance of the forecast period. This trend is similar across the four sectors, which include Air, Logistics, Rail, and Trucking.
See the Sector Outlook reports for in-depth information for each of the sectors.

LABOURDEMANDOver the next 10 years, 177,375 jobs will need to be filled, with 22% generated by Expansion and 78% by Replacement (see page 26). The number of Job Openings will peak in 2018 and decline slowly but steadily thereafter, with a slight rebound in 2025.
By sector, Job Opening numbers are approximately:JJ 61,120 in AirJJ 59,915 in LogisticsJJ 67,295 in RailJJ 84,870 in Trucking
The number of positions increases by 7.5%, for a total of 40,035 new positions over the forecast period.
LABOURSUPPLYThe forecast shows New Supply is not keeping pace with Job Openings, especially in Alberta. However, in Manitoba, supply and demand growth are balanced. The composition of New Supply will shift over the 10 years, with increasing reliance on Immigration (Figure 1).
For the New Supply of workers across the four sectors of the APGC:JJ 25% of the workers in the 34 occupations today will retire and
leave the APGC labour market by the end of the forecast period.JJ More than 56% of the New Supply will come from New Entrants.JJ Just under 15% of new workers will come from other countries.JJ 10% of new workers will move to the APGC from other provinces.JJ Approximately 20% will move into the 34 occupations from other
occupations or by returning to the labour force.
Investment Scenario Comparison The forecast shows that both supply and demand for all 34 occupations in all four sectors in the APGC are influenced by the economic scenarios. In the APGC, the High Investment Scenario will generate about 34,085 more Job Openings (47%) than the Low in the first 5 years of the fore-cast. In the final 5 years, between 2021 and 2025, the Low Investment Scenario outperforms the High by 9,265 Job Openings, for a net effect that has the High Investment Scenario generating about 24,820 more Job Openings (16%).
All four sectors show the same pattern. The Logistics and Trucking Sectors show the largest impact from the economic scenarios in both the first 5 years and the full 10 years. Trucking has the largest (49%, or 16,115 Job Openings) 5-year impact among the four sectors, and Rail the smallest (36%, or 10,510 Job Openings) 10-year impact. The analysis in this report is based on the Moderate Investment Scenario (the expected scenario), which takes into account projects that are planned and likely to proceed (see Appendix B).

Executive Summary
HIRINGDIFFICULTYINDEXThe Hiring Difficulty Index assesses the overall challenges for employers who are trying to hire in the labour market. It aggregates five metrics and combines them to provide a single measure that reflects the different interactions between the labour market components. For example, the metrics can show the ratio of workers to Job Openings (the Market Tightness) as “Tight”, with International Reliance and Supply Lag Low and Mobility positive (i.e., workers are moving in), while the Loss of Experience is Moderate and the reliance on New Entrants is Extreme. This implies quite different labour market conditions than a situation where the Market Tightness is “Tightening” (i.e., less difficult), but International Reliance is High, supply is growing much more slowly than Job Openings, and a high portion of current workers are leaving to work in other provinces. For more information on labour market metrics, see Appendix A.
The labour market for the 34 occupations included in the APGC forecast will provide some challenges for employers to find the workers they need for most years of the forecast (see Table 1). The forecast anticipates 2016 as the year with the most flexibility.

Chapter 2 Highlights
By 2024, Asia–Pacific container traffic providing goods to consumers across Canada and arriving at British Columbia’s deep water ports is expected to increase by more than 70%. Exports of goods (grain, potash, metals and minerals) from all four APGC provinces, driven by demand from our Asian trading partners, is also expected to grow (by 60% or more). To compete successfully for this growing trade and capitalize on Canada’s natural geographic advantage, APGC partners—federal and provincial governments, their agencies, ports, railways, and airport authorities— have set ambitious growth targets for British Columbia’s ports and airports. Major public–private investments have increased capacity and will eliminate congestion and streamline operations. Projects to expand and enhance port, rail, road, and airport infrastructure currently planned or underway total well over $20 billion.
This study indicates that there could be 40,035 more jobs by 2025 than there are today in the 34 APGC occupations assessed across the four provinces in the APGC. It also shows that 177,375 jobs will need to be filled over the 10 years of the forecast: 22% generated by Expansion and 78% by Replacement in those same occupations. This is about 9% of the estimated 2,052,720 Job Openings forecast for all occupations in the four provinces of the APGC.
This section provides labour market highlights for the following four key sectors in the APGC:

Air cargo comprises mostly perishables and low-weight, high-value consumer goods. While the volume by weight of air cargo is substantially smaller than in any other mode, the value in dollars is equivalent to that moved by rail. Developing and expanding various aspects of the air cargo business is a strategic focus inside the APGC.
The APGC LMI Project Air Sector includes 15 occupations. For details on individual occupations, please refer to the Occupational Snapshots.

The forecast for 2016–2025 shows 2017 as the most challenging year that employers will face. In most of the forecast, employers will have some challenges in hiring the workers they need in the 15 occupations. This trend is similar across the four provinces, with Manitoba showing difficult conditions more often than the others.
Job Openings are more likely to be created by Replacement (80%) than by Expansion. More than 1 in 4 workers will retire and leave the sector, a little higher than in the APGC as a whole. More than 2 in 5 Senior Managers – Construction, Transportation, Production and Utilities will have retired and left the Labour Force by 2025, as will more than a third of Managers in Transportation.
Almost half of all new workers in the Air Sector will be New Entrants. Virtually all new Industrial Instrument Technicians and Mechanics will be New Entrants, which means employers will need to invest in more on-the-job training to enable newly trained workers to contribute to overall productivity. Aircraft Mechanics and Aircraft Inspectors and Air Pilots, Flight Engineers and Flying Instructors show a significant loss of workers to other provinces. Almost a third of new workers in the 15 occupations of the APGC Air Sector are from other parts of the labour force, but there is a wide variance, with 90% of Managers in Transportation coming from this source while Air Pilots, Flight Engineers and Flying Instructors lose the equivalent of more than a third of New Supply to other occupations. Just over 15% of the New Supply of workers will come from other countries. For Air Pilots, Flight Engineers and Flying Instructors, more than 50% of new workers are from other countries.
36% of the workers in the APGC Air Sector live in BC, 47% in Alberta, 8% in Saskatchewan, and 9% in Manitoba.

When used with reference to business, the term logistics often occurs in conjunction with the terms supply chain or supply chain management. Supply chain and logistics refers to the science of ensuring that the move - ments to and from each segment of the chain are carried out as efficiently and economically as possible. In the APGC, logistics deals with the movement of goods from source to destination using air, marine, rail, and trucking resources.
The APGC LMI Project Logistics Sector includes 12 occupations. For details on individual occupations, please refer to the Occupational Snapshots.

Chapter 2 Highlights — Logistics Sector
The forecast for 2016–2025 shows 2016 and 2017 as the least challenging years that employers will face. Throughout most of the forecast, employers will have some challenges hiring the workers they need in the twelve occupations. This trend is similar across the four provinces, with Manitoba showing difficult conditions more often than the others.
Job Openings are more likely to be created by Replacement (76%) than Expansion; however, in the first 5 years, close to 1 in 3 Job Openings are generated by Expansion. Just under 1 in 4 workers will retire and leave the sector, about the same as in the APGC as a whole. Close to 1 in 3 Supervisors, Supply Chain, Tracking and Scheduling Co-ordination Occupations and Managers in Transportation will have retired and left the labour force by 2025.
Half of all new workers in the industry will be New Entrants and 4 in 5 for Customs, Ship and Other Brokers, and Production Logistics Co-ordinators and Shippers and Receivers; employers will need to invest in more on-the-job training to enable newly trained workers to contribute to overall productivity. All of the occupations gain some of their New Supply from other provinces, with Purchasing Agents and Officers gaining almost half of their New Supply from other provinces. More than 1 in 4 new workers in the APGC are from other parts of the labour force, with half of the New Supply in Saskatchewan coming from this source along with 9 in 10 Managers in Transportation, Supervisors, Supply Chain, Tracking and Scheduling Co-ordination Occupations and Retail and Wholesale Buyers. About 1 in 10 new workers come from other countries; however, in Saskatchewan, the 12 occupations in the Logistics Sector lose the equivalent of 15% of the New Supply to workers leaving Canada. Across the APGC, 1 in 3 Inspectors in Public and Environmental Health and Occupational Health and Safety will come from other countries.
38% of the workers in the APGC Logistics Sector live in BC, 44% in Alberta, 8% in Saskatchewan and 10% in Manitoba.

A freight train is a group of freight cars hauled by one or more locomotives on a railway, ultimately transporting cargo between two points as part of the logistics chain. Trains can be as long as four kilometres or more, operated by a crew of two. Trains may haul bulk material, intermodal containers, general freight, or specialized freight in purpose-designed cars. When considered in terms of tonne-kilometres hauled per unit of consumed energy, rail transport is more efficient than other means of transportation. Additional economies are often realized with bulk commodities (e.g., coal), especially when hauled over long distances. With bulk shipments, distances as short as 30 kilometres are sufficient to make rail transport economically viable.
The APGC LMI Project Rail Sector incudes 19 occupations. For details on individual occupations, please refer to the Occupational Snapshots.
The forecast for 2016–2025 shows 2016 as the least challenging year that employers will face. For most of the forecast period, employers will have some challenges in hiring the workers they need in the 19 occupations.

All of the occupations gain some of their New Supply from other provinces; Railway Conductors and Brakemen/women gain almost a third of their New Supply from other provinces. 1 in 3 new workers in the APGC are from other parts of the labour force, with close to two thirds of New Supply in Saskatchewan coming from this source along with 9 in 10 Managers in Transportation, Facility Operation and Maintenance Managers and Super visors, Railway Transport Operations. Just over 15% of new workers come from other countries; in BC, it is closer to 25%. Across the APGC, close to 1 in 3 Railway Track Maintenance Workers, Non-Destructive Testers and Inspection T echnicians and Civil Engineers will come from other countries.
35% of the workers in the APGC Rail Sector live in BC, 47% in Alberta, 9% in Saskatchewan, and 9% in Manitoba.

20 Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor Transportation Labour Market Outlook for the Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor 2016–2025
Chapter 2 Highlights — Trucking Sector
The forecast for 2016–2025 shows 2016 as the least challenging year that employers will face. For most of the forecast period, employers will have some challenges in hiring the workers they need in all 12 occupations. This trend is similar across the four provinces, with Saskatchewan showing more ease in the later years and Manitoba showing difficult conditions more often than the others.
Job Openings are more likely to be created by Replacement (81%) than Expansion; however, in the first 5 years, close to 1 in 5 Job Openings are generated by Expansion. Just over 1 in 4 workers will retire and leave the sector, a little higher than in the APGC as a whole. Close to 1 in 3 Managers in Transportation and Supervisors, Motor Transport and Other Ground Transit Operators will have retired and left the labour force by 2025.
Almost 2 in 3 new workers in the industry will be New Entrants, virtually all Industrial Instrument Technicians and Mechanics are New Entrants, which means employers will need to invest in more on-the-job training to enable newly trained workers to contribute to overall productivity. For the APGC as a whole, just under 1 in 10 new workers will come from other provinces; all of the occupations gain some of their New Supply from other provinces. About 15% of new workers in the APGC are from other parts of the labour force, with 9 in 10 Managers in Transportation and Supervisors, Motor Transport and Other Ground Transit Operators. Another 15% of new workers come from other countries, higher in Saskatchewan and Manitoba at close to 1 in 5. Across the APGC, 1 in 3 Automotive Service Technicians, Truck and Bus Mechanics and Mechanical Repairers, Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technologists and Technicians and Inspectors in Public and Environmental Health and Occupational Health and Safety will come from other countries.
35% of the workers in the APGC Trucking Sector live in BC, 44% in Alberta, 10% in Saskatchewan and 11% in Manitoba.

22 Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor Transportation Labour Market Outlook for the Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor 2016–2025
The APGC is forecast to grow in the 10 years of the forecast as trade activity between North America and Asia expands. This growth will increase the need for an available, well-trained workforce. The forecast shows that employers will face some challenges in hiring the workers they need in the 34 occupations starting in 2017 and throughout the balance of the forecast period. This trend is similar across the four sectors. See the Sector Outlook reports for more information.

Expansion Demand is defined as the number of Job Openings in an occupation created by economic or business growth.
Expansion In the APGC, Expansion accounts for approximately 22% of Job Openings over the entire forecast period, with Replacement accounting for the remainder. While 2016 shows declines in all sectors except for Logistics, in the first 5 years, 24% of Job Openings are created by Expansion due to the number of large-scale projects forecast for that period. By sector, Expansion Demand varies greatly, with the lowest impact being in Air and Rail (Figure 3).

25 Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor Transportation Labour Market Outlook for the Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor 2016–2025
Labour Supply is created by the number of workers who have the skills and/or certifications to be qualified to work in each occupation in each year, including those who are newly trained, have moved from other provinces or countries, or have moved from other occupations.
Chapter 3 Key Facts 2016–2025
LABOURSUPPLYLabour Supply in the APGC is expected to grow by about 36,110 workers over the 10 years of the forecast. With the growth in New Supply not keeping pace with Job Openings, the forecast shows a consistent gap between the growth in supply and the growth in Job Openings in all provinces except Manitoba.
By sector, labour supply is expected to increase by approximately:JJ 11,770 in AirJJ 12,415 in LogisticsJJ 13,065 in RailJJ 17,195 in Trucking
The Supply Lag Measure assesses the extent to which New Supply is keeping pace with Job Openings. It allows for an assessment of the extent to which conditions are tightening or loosening in the labour market (Table 13).

Replacement Demand is defined as the number of Job Openings created by workers who leave each occupation, and the labour market as a whole, due to retirement or death each year.
ReplacementReplacement continues to be the primary driver of Job Openings, although its impact has declined from previous forecasts as more workers remain in the workforce after the age of 65, and the impact of the baby boom generation moving out of the workforce lessens. In the APGC, Replacement will generate 139,055 Job Openings over 10 years (Table 14).
Close to 13,905 experienced workers will leave the workforce across the APGC each year.
By sector, this means an annual loss of approximately:JJ 4,905 in AirJJ 4,545 in LogisticsJJ 5,310 in RailJJ 6,855 in Trucking

Base Supply is calculated as the total supply less the average number of unemployed workers, less Replacement from each year of the forecast. Base Supply calculations demonstrate the changes in each year of the forecast period to the cohort of workers as compared with the first year of the forecast.
Chapter 3 Key Facts 2016–2025
Base Supply In the APGC, Base Supply is expected to decline by 24% over the fore - cast period. There is some variance between sectors (Table 16), but with this decline, employers in all sectors will need to explore alternative recruiting methods to replace their most experienced workers.

New Supply is defined as the number of workers who are new to the occupations from Immigration, other provinces or regions, or other occupations, or who are New Entrants—newly trained and new to the workforce.
New Supply The forecast shows New Supply largely keeping pace with Job Openings for the entire forecast period. 3 of the 4 sectors will have greater challenges finding workers in the first 5 years, especially the Air and Logistics sectors. In the Trucking Sector, the growth in supply keeps pace with Job Openings throughout the forecast period.
The composition of New Supply will shift over the forecast, with increasing reliance on Immigration and New Entrants (see Figure 4).

Chapter 3 Key Facts 2016–2025
New Entrants For the New Supply of workers across all sectors in the APGC, 56% are New Entrants—newly trained and new to the workforce. With many workers being new to the workforce, employers in some sectors will benefit from good training programs to help integrate these New Entrants.
By sector, New Entrants make up:JJ 48% in AirJJ 50% in LogisticsJJ 41% in RailJJ 62% in Trucking
The number of New Entrants takes into consideration previous participation in the labour force: If a new graduate has never worked before, they would be counted as 1.0 New Entrant, and if a new graduate worked 25% of the year prior to graduating, they would be counted as 0.75 of a New Entrant. The number of New Entrants may not match administrative data for graduates, as graduates do not always end up in the labour force.
New Entrants refer to the number of graduates from school or training programs who are filling Job Openings.
30 Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor Transportation Labour Market Outlook for the Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor 2016–2025
Immigration refers to workers coming to Canada from other countries. It includes foreign workers as well as immigrants to Canada.
ImmigrationImmigration is expected to add 14% to the total New Supply of APGC workers.
With some workers expected to come from other countries in all of the sectors, employers may need to explore different methods of recruitment when adding to their workforce.
By sector, the amount of workers coming from other countries is:JJ 16% in AirJJ 10% in LogisticsJJ 17% in RailJJ 15% in Trucking
The International Reliance Measure assesses the extent to which the New Supply of workers is dependent on Immigration. Employers do not have control over Immigration, so this measure provides insight into how New Supply expectations could be affected by changes to Immigration policy (Table 18).

The Mobility Measure demonstrates the extent to which movement into or out of the province affects the supply of workers available to fill Job Openings (see Table 19).
Mobility is defined as workers coming into the APGC from other provinces.
Labour Force Mobility is defined as workers who change from one occupation to another or return to the labour force.

32 Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor Transportation Labour Market Outlook for the Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor 2016–2025
The scenarios were developed in January 2016, and reflect the infor-mation available at that time. The changes in oil and commodity prices between 2015 and 2016 made a substantial difference to the overall economic outlook for the APGC, as did declining growth expectations for the Chinese and other Asian economies. Meanwhile, the falling Canadian dollar will be a stimulus for many areas of the Canadian economy, especially trade and export. Along with the federal government’s commitments to invest in infrastructure, this should provide growth in areas other than natural resources. Both the Moderate and High Invest-ment Scenarios include less investment. However, the Low scenario includes more investment, as several projects, including Site C, have begun development. See Appendix B for the list of factors and projects influencing the scenarios.
Chapter 4 Impact Of The Economic Scenarios
IMPACTOFTHEECONOMICSCENARIOS
The Low Investment Scenario is conservative. It includes projects that are underway or certain to proceed, for a total of $103.5B from 2016–2025. 22% of this investment is in BC, 49% is in Alberta, 13% is in Saskatchewan and 16% is in Manitoba.
The Moderate Investment Scenario is the expected scenario. It adds projects that are planned and likely to proceed, for a total of $165.1B in investments from 2016–2025. 36% of this investment is in BC, 35% is in Alberta, 17% is in Saskatchewan and 11% is in Manitoba.
The High Investment Scenario is optimistic. It adds projects that have been announced, but with more distant start dates or more regulatory approvals needed to proceed, for a total of $304.91 B in invest-ment from 2016–2025. 31% of this investment is in BC, 46% is in Alberta, 16% is in Saskatchewan and 6% is in Manitoba.

In the APGC, the High Investment Scenario will generate a total of about 34,085 more Job Openings (47%) than the Low Investment Scenario in the first 5 years of the forecast (2016 to 2020). In the second 5 years (2021 to 2025), the Low Investment Scenario outperforms the High by 9,265 Job Openings, for a net effect that has the High Scenario generating approximately 24,820 more Job Openings (16%). In the first 5 years, the Logistics and Trucking Sectors show the biggest impact with the High Investment Scenario generating nearly 50% more Job Openings. In the second half of the forecast, the largest impact is seen in the Logistics Sector with almost 20% more Job Openings in the High compared with the Low.
The forecast shows that both supply and demand for all 34 occupations in the APGC are influenced by the economic scenarios.

THEAPGCEmployers will face some challenges from 2017 onward, mostly driven by high rates of retirement (Replacement) over the whole forecast period, and in the middle years with supply growth not keeping pace with Job Openings. The loss of workers to other provinces in both Saskatchewan and Manitoba also contributes to the challenges that employers will face in hiring workers in the 34 occupations in the APGC between 2016 and 2025.
New Supply, which keeps pace with Job Openings, except in the middle years of the forecast, is driven mostly by New Entrants and by workers moving into these 34 occupations from other occupations or other parts of the labour force. Over the forecast period, reliance on New Entrants increases as does reliance on international workers, while workers from other provinces and other occupations become a smaller part of the New Supply.
The Moderate Investment Scenario shows growth in the APGC over the first five years, with slow but steady declines in the second half of the forecast. This could be moderated or reversed if there is more investment made in large-scale projects in the APGC in the second half of the forecast. In contrast, the Low Investment Scenario shows slower but steady growth throughout the 10 years of the forecast, while the High Investment Scenario shows sharp growth in the first half and contracts somewhat in the last years of the forecast.
Employers can reduce impacts of the forecasted labour market conditions by building programs and strategies to ensure the attraction of an adequate labour supply and retention of the mature workforce to slow the rate of retirement.

CONCLUSIONS
35 Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor Transportation Labour Market Outlook for the Asia Pacific Gateway Corridor 2016–2025
Chapter 5 Conclusions
AIRThe 15 occupations in the APGC Air Sector have slightly more difficult conditions than the APGC as a whole, with a loss of workers to other occupations in the first two years and greater reliance on international workers to meet the need for new workers. These occupations rely more on workers from provinces and they also show the smallest impact of the three scenarios, with less than a 10% difference in Job Openings between the High and Low Investment Scenarios.
LOGISTICSThe 12 occupations in the APGC Logistics Sector have slightly less difficult conditions than the APGC as a whole, with a lower rate of retirement and less reliance on international workers to meet the need for new workers. These occupations rely less on New Entrants and more on workers from other occupations and they also show the largest impact of the three scenarios, with a 19% difference in Job Openings between the High and Low Investment Scenarios.
RAILThe 19 occupations in the APGC Rail Sector have about the same conditions as the APGC as a whole. These occupations have a higher rate of retirement and reliance on international workers to meet the need for new workers. These occupations rely much less on New Entrants and more on workers from other occupations and they also show a lower impact of the three scenarios than the APGC as a whole with a 10% difference in Job Openings between the High and Low Investment Scenarios.
TRUCKINGThe 12 occupations in the APGC Trucking Sector have about the same conditions as the APGC as a whole. These occupations have a higher rate of retirement and lower reliance on international workers to meet the need for new workers. They rely much more on New Entrants and much less on workers from other occupations. The 12 Trucking Sector occupations show about the same impact of the three scenarios as the APGC as a whole with a 16% difference in Job Openings between the High and Low Investment Scenarios. This sector has the largest impact in the first five years with 49% more Job Openings in the High Investment Scenario.

Appendix A Description of Metrics and Glossary of Terms
APPENDIXA DESCRIPTIONOFMETRICSANDGLOSSARYOFTERMS
Assesses the overall challenges for employers who are trying to hire in the labour market. It aggregates five metrics and combines them to provide a single measure that reflects the different interactions between the labour market components. For example, the metrics can show the ratio of workers to Job Openings (the Market Tightness) as “Tight”, with International Reliance and Supply Lag Low and Mobility positive (i.e., workers are moving in), while the Loss of Experience is Moderate and the reliance on New Entrants is Extreme. This implies quite different labour market conditions than a situation where the Market Tightness is “Tightening” (i.e., less difficult) but International Reliance is High, supply is growing much more slowly than Job Openings, and a high portion of current workers are leaving to work in other provinces.
Oversupplied Market 0–8
No New Supply New Supply is 0 or negative
Easy Market 9–15
None International workers are not part of New Supply
Low Less than 10% of New Supply represented by Immigration
Difficult 23–29
Medium 10% to 25% of New Supply represented by Immigration
Extreme 50% or more of New Supply represented by Immigration
Extremely Difficult 30+
High 25% to 50% of New Supply represented by Immigration
Hiring Difficulty Index
International Reliance Measure
Assesses the extent to which the New Supply of workers is dependent on workers from other countries. Given that the levers that control Immigration are not in the control of employers, this measure provides insight into the potential for New Supply expectations to be influenced by changes in Immigration policy.

Appendix A Description of Metrics and Glossary of Terms
A measure of the decline in the number of workers who are active in an occupation at the beginning of the forecast and subsequently leave due to Replacement over the forecast period. Base Supply is calculated as the total supply less the average number of unemployed workers, less Replacement from each year of the forecast. Base Supply calculations demonstrate the changes in each year of the forecast period to the cohort of workers as compared with the first year of the forecast.
Low Investment Scenario Conservative scenario. It includes projects that are underway or certain to proceed, for a total of $103.5B from 2016 – 2025. 22% of this investment is in BC, 49% is in Alberta, 13% is in Saskatchewan and 16% is in Manitoba.
Moderate Investment Scenario Expected scenario. It adds projects that are planned and likely to proceed, for a total of $165.1B in invest-ments from 2016 – 2025. 36% of this investment is in BC, 35% is in Alberta, 17% is in Saskatchewan and 11% is in Manitoba.
High Investment Scenario Optimistic scenario. It adds projects that have been announced, but with more distant start dates or more regulatory approvals needed to proceed, for a total of $304.91B in investment from 2016 – 2025. 31% of this investment is in BC, 46% is in Alberta, 16% is in Saskatchewan and 6% is in Manitoba.
Base Supply
Economic Scenarios
Assesses the extent to which New Supply is keeping pace with Job Openings. It allows for an assessment of the extent to which conditions are tightening or loosening in the labour market.
Count Too Small Job Openings or New Supply is less than 6
No New Supply New Supply is 0 or negative
Medium New Supply is 93–97% of Job Openings
High New Supply is 93% or less of Job Openings

Appendix A Description of Metrics and Glossary of Terms
Expansion is defined here as the number of job openings in an occupation created by economic or business growth.
International Mobility refers to the NET number of workers that coming to Canada from other countries. It includes temporary foreign workers as well as immigrants to Canada. When more workers leave for other countries than come to Canada this can be a negative number.
Job openings is defined here as the need for new workers in an occupation created by expansion and/or replacement demand.
Labour Demand is defined here as the number of jobs available for workers who have the skills and/or required certifications to be considered qualified to work in each occupation in each year.
Labour Force Mobility refers to workers who are in the workforce and change from one occupation to another. An example of this is a worker who was a Heavy Duty Equipment operator and changes employment to become a Truck Driver, or who returns to the workforce after a short period away, such as after a disability leave.
The number of workers who have the skills and/or certifications to be qualified to work in each occupation each year, including those who are newly trained, have moved from other provinces or countries, or have moved from other occupations.
Mobility refers to the net number of workers coming into the APGC from other provinces. Net means the difference between those who leave the APGC to work in other provinces and those who come to the APGC from other provinces.
New Entrants are generally between the ages of 15 and 30. The number of new entrants is not the same as the number of graduates from school/training such as that measured by educational institution administrative data. New entrants refer to the number of graduates from school/training that fill the job openings. This number would not likely be the same as the administrative data for graduates since graduates do not always end up in the labour force. The number of New Entrants also considers previous participation in the labour force—if a new graduate has never worked before graduation they would be counted as 1.0 New Entrant. If a new graduate has worked 25% time before graduation, they would be counted as .075% of a New Entrant.

Appendix A Description of Metrics and Glossary of Terms
New Supply or Net New Workers is the number of workers who are new to the occupations from four sources: immigration, other provinces or regions, other occupations, or those who are newly trained and new to the workforce. This creates growth in labour supply.
Replacement is defined here as the number of job openings in an occupation created by attrition—that is, the number of workers who leave each occupation, and the labour market as a whole, due to retirement or death each year.
Labour Supply is defined here as the number of workers who have the skills and/or required certifications to be considered qualified to work in each occupation in each year.
