Ontario Manufacturing Sector Increases

Sunday, 12 August 2007

Ontario's manufacturing industrial sector has rebounded. According to Statistics Canada, Ontario experienced an overall gain in employment thanks to industrial growth.

Ontario added 27,000 new manufacturing jobs in the last month. This represents the first major increase in well over one year.

Ontario's job growth demonstrates the solid economic foundations in Ontario, with job growth posted in the services, professional, IT and research sectors as well.

Due to competition from other provinces, especially Alberta and British Columbia, Ontario is expected to increasingly turn to migration from abroad to meet labour demands.
