Construction Sector as a 'Pathway to Employment' -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 25

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we examine new research from BuildForce Canada suggesting the construction sector isn't necessarily downsizing, it's instead 'normalizing'. With an average construction unemployment rate of 5.6%, unemployment in the sector is still remarkably low compared to historical norms. The construction labour force, the total number of people either working or actively seeking work, grew last year, rising from 1.69 million to 1.702 million. This 0.7% increase suggests that recruitment efforts are succeeding in attracting new talent, a critical development for an industry facing long-term demographic pressures from an aging workforce.#MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.If you would like to join us LIVE, we meet every Monday morning online with job developers from across Canada to discuss a new topic.
