Job Futures National Edition 1MILLION OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, MORE THAN NEW JOBS WILL LIKELY BE CREATED What are tomorrow’s most promising jobs? THERE WILL BE JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN ALL MAJOR OCCUPATIONAL GROUPS Job growth will be fastest in health, natural and applied sciences, the arts, culture, recreation and sport. Examples of why: • • The population is aging and expected increases in public spending will stimulate employment in the area of health. The move towards a knowledge-based economy is creating jobs in the sciences. Job growth will be slowest in primary industries because of resource constraints and the increasing difficulty resource-based industries are experiencing in accessing foreign markets. About 65% of all new jobs created over the next five years are expected to require some form of post-secondary education/training. 3.0 JOB GROWTH BY BROAD OCCUPATIONAL GROUPING (%) 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 2.7 0.0 Health 1.9 Natural and Applied Sciences 1.7 Arts, Culture, Recreation and Sport 1.6 Processing, Manufacturing and Utilities 1.5 Sales and Services 1.4 1.1 Social Science, Trades, Education, Govern- Transport and ment Service and Equipment Religion Operators 1.1 Business, Finance and Administration 0.9 Primary Industry Source: Policy Research and Coordination Directorate, HRSDC. Job Futures National Edition 2 MILLION RETIREMENT WILL LEAD TO AN ADDITIONAL JOBS BECOMING AVAILABLE OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS RETIREMENT WILL LEAD TO JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN ALL MAJOR OCCUPATIONAL GROUPS In addition to new jobs opening as a result of increased economic activity, many will also be created through retirements. More than 45% of all retirements over the next five years will be in the areas of sales and service, as well as business, finance and administration. Some areas with fewer workers will also be significantly affected by retirement as workers in these groups are generally older or tend to retire earlier. These sectors include social science, primary industries and health. Occupations requiring a higher level of education/training will account for two thirds of job opportunities arising from retirements.

More education can mean better jobs and pay Should you continue your education after high school? That depends on your interests, skills, talents and the sort of job you want. HOW EDUCATION AFFECTS LIFETIME EARNINGS 100 000 PhD in dollars 2001 90 000 80 000 Master’s degree 70 000 Bachelor’s degree 60 000 50 000 College or trade High school 40 000 30 000 Less than high school 20 000 10 000 0 151 20 25 30 35 406 years 457 508 559 60 10 Source: 2001 Census, Statistics Canada. As you can see, people with an education beyond high school usually start their careers with higher earnings and continue to earn more throughout their working life. Job Futures National Edition The cost of education pays off Studies show that even when you take into account the cost of post-secondary education and the earnings you forgo while getting that education, you still come out ahead in the long run. This is generally true for all jobs. Your chances of finding a job generally increase with a higher level of education/training On average, 5% of workers are unemployed. In occupations that most often require a university degree, the rate is 2.6%; for those that require a college or trade diploma, 4.2%; for those requiring less than a high school diploma, the rate climbs to 9.6%. Think carefully before you choose Education is only one thing to consider. What is the future of the job you are interested in? Do you have the skills and talents for the job you would like? What does it pay? Are employers hiring for that job? Will there always be a need for it? Job Futures National Edition What is the role of training/ education in getting the job you want? Education and skills are the key to getting work Most of the new jobs in the 1990s were in sectors requiring more education and skills, such as health, natural and applied sciences, social science and business and finance.
