Alberta's cities have seen a sharp increase in job opportunities

 

Alberta has more job opportunities than any other province in Canada. The flow of people from other provinces to Alberta has increased recently. Foreign migrant workers also tend to choose Alberta. According to a report by Hiring Lab, the research arm of Indeed, the number of job vacancies in Alberta is higher than it was before the Covid pandemic. Rates are highest in some cities of the province. Although job postings in Calgary and Edmonton are higher than they were before the pandemic, employment in the province's smaller cities has grown substantially. Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Red Deer reported job growth.

Job postings are up more than 25 percent in small and medium-sized cities across the country, according to HiringLab. Rates are higher in Alberta than the national average. Vacancy rates in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are above three per cent, according to the report.
