The 2020-2021 Niagara Workforce Planning Board (NWPB) Local Labour Market Planning Report was written during an extremely challenging time for employers, employees, and job-seekers alike. NWPB notes, “As COVID-19 makes hiring and job seeking a more difficult prospect for both employers and job-seekers, local Employment Services providers continue to operate on the front lines of serving both groups.”
The report profiles:
- Industries in Niagara
- Who is Living and Working in Niagara
- Occupations in Which Niagara’s Residents are Engaged
- Measures of Available Labour Supply
- Employer Challenges and Opportunities in 2020
