What is an “in demand” occupation?
A The occupations we identify as “in demand” fall in to two general categories. Those where there are long-term, chronic shortages such as trades, geomatics and surveyors positions where the demand for workers is significantly higher than the pool of candidates. The other type of “in demand” positions are those that are generally easier to find the skill set, such as equipment operators, drivers and labourers, but where the seasonal demand is such that many of those type of workers are required for part of the year. Remember that “in demand” does not mean the only positions available – they just represent the most predictable opportunities.
