Want a Job? Move to Canada [View All]

So in the United States, we have a major problems with jobs. Not so in Alberta, Canada according to http://www.edmontonsun.com/2011/05/18/labour-shortage-a-looming-problem-for-province">Edmonton Sun

An impending labour shortage is Alberta's "single greatest" threat for economic competitiveness, says a government council.

A report released Wednesday by the Alberta Competitiveness Council (ACC) says if the province doesn't address labour barriers now, the economy, and Albertans, will suffer the consequences.

"While Alberta's in a strong competitiveness position, it cannot rest on its laurels. We've seen what happens when we try and do that," says Bob Brawn, Co-Chair of the ACC.

The report, named Moving Alberta Forward, identifies 13 sector specific actions, and five general actions, to improve Alberta's competitiveness in the next five years. Brawn says many of the action items are already completed or in the process of being carried out.

Two of the points in the report address labour issues, including the need for more temporary foreign workers and ensuring underrepresented work groups, like youth, seniors and aboriginal people, participate in the work force.

"We have an aging population which is going to impact labour availability," says Premier Ed Stelmach. "We're looking at how we can work with the federal government in increasing the cap that was put on temporary workers. We'll see now that there's a new government in place, a new minister, we'll be able to continue that dialogue

We have a problem of lack of job in this country. When your country has potential labor shortgage, you turn to immigration to deal with the problem. And immigration from the United States to Canada addresses the problem.

And this is a little dirty secret that few know about. And the job problems seems not to be solved for a long, long time. So guess if I want a job, I would suggest to move to Canada.
