Workforce & Employment
Manitoba has a stable and diverse economy and dedicated and skilled workforce ensuring the province the lowest unemployment rate in Canada. As well as having the skills in diverse fields, Manitoba's cultural diversity makes our province a virtual global economy, making it easier to do business worldwide. Manitoba workers also have a reputation for being particularly hardworking and loyal. This reputation is supported by a history of comparatively few days lost to strikes and low turnover rates. These characteristics combined with an ingrained work ethic and a dedication to productivity make Manitoba's workforce vital to the continuing growth of the economy. The same traditional values that make our communities strong and vital also influence workforce relationships. Within a number of sectors, companies work together to form strategic alliances to focus on export and other opportunities. Other companies work with the province's post secondary institutions to promote training skills and development in high demand areas. Traditional sectors such as agriculture and agri-business, mining, manufacturing, technology, tourism, transportation and forestry continue to employ thousands of Manitobans. However, new sectors such as health care products, information and telecommunications, agri-food production and environmental industries are experiencing rapid growth, generating new employment opportunities for thousands more Manitobans each year. For those seeking employment, federal and provincial government departments are available to offer assistance. The following links can help you find out more about working and employment in Manitoba.
