The March edition of Signal49 Research’s Help-Wanted Index suggests that the near-term employment outlook is more upbeat in the West than in the East. According to the index, near-term employment prospects are up in 11 CMAs, stable in 1, and down in 15. Of the eight Western Canadian CMAs covered in this report, six can boast positive job growth prospects (Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary, Abbotsford, Vancouver, and Victoria), and in one other (Winnipeg), prospects are stable. Edmonton is the only CMA in the West where prospects remain down. Among the 19 CMAs in the East, only 5 (Québec, Sherbrooke, Greater Sudbury, Toronto, and St. Catharines-Niagara) can boast positive prospects. In the 14 others, prospects remain down.
