This site provides detailed labour market information at the local level and links to provincial and territorial labour market information web pages.
The Alliance of Sector Councils is a coordinating body formed of some 29 sector councils. Sector councils bring together representatives from business, labour, education and other professional groups to analyze and address sector-wide human resource issues. The site has a members’ directory which allows visitors to search by sector of activity, and it links to sector council Web sites. Information on the individual sector council Web sites varies.
The Sector Council Program web site provides a link to national industry profiles. It allows searches by keyword, the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes, and North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes. Each profile includes human resources information including industry trends, pay levels and benefits. Data on this Web site is accurate, but not always complete.
Temporary Foreign Worker Program officers who cannot find sufficient information on their regional Web site should contact a regional consultant. Regional consultants can work with regional labour market information specialists using such tools as Statistics Canada’s annual Labour Force Survey.
