class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Town of Wynyard (pop. 1,798) is located along the Yellowhead Highway (Highway #16) in East-Central Saskatchewan. Wynyard is about equal distance from three major centres, namely Regina (175 km), Saskatoon (200 km) and Yorkton (150 km). The regional population is approximately 12,200. Meat processing in the Wynyard Saskatchewan region is focused mainly on poultry with some additional processing of hogs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0128158 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0128158\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">LABOUR MARKET OVERVIEW<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6212459 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6212459\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Regional labour market analysis suggests that after accounting for labour requirements in other sectors, regional labour supply is well below projected meat processing employment demands during the forecast period. Supply constraints are even more acute among lower-skill workers in the region, potentially due to wage differentials with competing sectors. This analysis suggests significant numbers of workers are required from outside the region to meet labour requirements.<\/p><p>Regional meat employment is expected to grow by over 2.0% annually, rising from 580 workers in 2017 to 600 by 2020 and over 700 workers by 2030. Local processors will likely need to hire 400 additional workers between 2017 and 2030, due both to industry growth and the need to replace workforce retirements. This figure does not include turnovers which can add significantly to total annual recruitment demands.<\/p><p>The region\u2019s population is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.1% over the forecast period, reaching 12,500 by 2020 and just over 14,000 by 2030. Net in-migration of 2,500 individuals is expected to be the main source of population growth in the region, outpacing births. Despite moderate population growth rising retirements will cause labour force growth to lag behind employment, resulting in a decline in the regional unemployment rate from 8.7% in 2017 to 7.0% by 2030.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93ecf82 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"93ecf82\"

One important aspect of understanding HR challenges in the sector, some of which are region specific, was to gather detailed information and profiles of areas that rely heavily on meat processing for their local economies. Fourteen regions across Canada were selected for specific focus based on the amount of processing activity, and proportion of labour force working in the industry. The Wynyard Region within the Yorkton-melville region in Saskatchewan was selected as one of these regions for detailed focus.<\/p><p>The initial sections of this report provide overviews of the Wynyard Region, meat processing overall in the province of Saskatchewan, and specifically in the Wynyard Region. This is followed by sections that provide an overview of the region\u2019s labour force, and the specific findings for the labour supply and demand, current and future. The final two report sections outline the HR challenges identified in the region and some of the promising practices and innovative solutions that employers and communities are trying to address labour supply issues.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9e55dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c9e55dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">THE STUDY METHODS USED TO DEVELOP\nTHESE DETAILED REGIONAL PROFILES\nINCLUDED:<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e15b19d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e15b19d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Two robust econometric models that provide detailed quantifiable projections for both labour demand and supply at the regional level (the first time these numbers have been produced at the regional, provincial and national level for the meat processing industry);<\/li><li>A broad survey of meat processing facilities (n=417) across Canada covering approximately 75 per cent of the industry workforce; and<\/li><li>Qualitative information focused on themes and issues collected through site visits and interviews with plant managers, employees, unions and community stakeholders.

The population is currently slightly older than other regions in Canada with the Town of Wynyard having a median age of 47.0 years compared to the provincial median of 45.8 and a national median age of 41.2 (Census, 2016). Although the total population will increase, it will begin to be an aging population with the proportion of the age cohort 65 years or older rising from 25.8% in 2017 to approximately 31.4% by 2030 (see Figure 1). While population growth will be negatively impacted by the continued aging of the population and increased number of deaths outpacing births, this will be countered by a predicted continuation of a pattern of net in-migration of approximately 2,500 people by 2030. Overall, the period under study will be impacted by the predicted in-migration in the region, which will result in a small rise in population (see Figure 2).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-019df4f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"019df4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"412\" src=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-17-at-2.13.06\u202fPM-1024x412.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5789\" alt=\"Bar chart showing the percentage distribution of population by age group from 2017 to 2030.

Approximately 1% of the workforce is in the higher skill occupations of specialized meat cutters and master butchers. This approximate distribution was confirmed in interviews with indications that the majority of the floor personnel in the plants were working in positions at the foundational or intermediate skill levels. The plants interviewed indicated that they have on-the-job training for all their positions ranging from the foundational to the higher skill level occupations. While a high school diploma is often preferred, it is often not necessary to secure a starting position according to the plant and HR managers interviewed for the study.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52d12fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"52d12fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>3 Number of establishments is based on the 2016 data from Statistic Canada\u2019s Business Registrar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed35b90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ed35b90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>TABLE 3: PROFILE OF WORKERS BY OCCUPATIONS FOR WYNYARD REGION &#8211;

It was noted that there are a few Indigenous workers employed by the large poultry plant, but they would make up less than 5% of the employees.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4d241e dark-section e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b4d241e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4669d79 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4669d79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6.0 <\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4d4d42 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e4d4d42\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac99ba1 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ac99ba1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span>6.0 <\/span>CURRENT AND FUTURE LABOUR DEMAND VS.

These factors will also contribute to a growing labour force for the region, albeit at a slower rate than population growth given the aging population and anticipated retirements. As a result, unemployment rates are expected to decline from an average of 8.7% to 7.0% based on increased opportunities, but slower growth in the overall labour force.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ae8029 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1ae8029\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">LABOUR MARKET TIGHTNESS EXPLAINED<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45626f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"45626f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Specifically, for this project, the analytic team developed an approach to demonstrate the \u201ctightness\u201d of the labour market in supplying the employment demands from meat processing in the identified regions. This was calculated by estimating labour requirements in other sectors in the region (non meat-processing labour requirements) and subtracting those requirements from the total labour force estimates. This difference results in an estimated \u201cresidual\u201d labour force for the region from which meat processing needs to draw. Not all the meat processing workers come from the residual pool, as the sector actively competes with other sectors for workers; however, the \u201ctightness\u201d measure indicates where shortages are likely occurring for not only the meat processing sector but likely other sectors drawing from the same labour supply. Using this approach, the current and future labour market tightness was calculated to determine the extent to which the region\u2019s labour force can meet the labour requirements of all sectors (both non-meat processing and meat processing).<\/p><p>As illustrated in Table 8 and Figure 5, the Total meat Processing Employment (Annual Average) is higher than the Residual Total Labour Force. This suggests that there is currently (2017) an insufficient local labour force to meet all of the region\u2019s labour requirements (for all industries) leaving an overall potential gap. This trend continues all the way through to 2030, and the labour market tightness is expected to increase as the residual total labour force decreases while the projected employment in meat processing increases.<\/p><p>The analysis outlined in Table 8 and Figure 6 describes the labour market context within which the meat processors in the Wynyard Region are operating with respect to finding sufficient numbers of workers from the local labour supply. Within this very tight, competitive labour market, the industry employers have had some success recruiting. For example, in 2017, the meat processing industry was able to recruit and employ 577 within a labour market that had a residual total labour force of only 317. This means that the meat processing industry was likely recruiting workers from other industries and from outside the local region. While the industry did experience vacancies, these would likely have been substantially higher had it not been successful in recruiting labour external to the region, and\/or competing with other industries in recruiting workers. In interviews with the local large plant, it was noted that with the more recent economic downturn for various Saskatchewan industries (i.e., mining, oil and gas), the number of available workers from which to recruit has increased, making it somewhat easier to attract and maintain a full complement of workers for the plant.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-576627c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"576627c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aef4b7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aef4b7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">TABLE 8: TOTAL LABOUR MARKET TIGHTNESS \u2013 WYNYARD REGION \u2013 2017-2030<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b71210a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b71210a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"overflow-x:auto;\">\n<table class=\"red-table-3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th><\/th>\n<th>2017<\/th>\n<th>2018<\/th>\n<th>2019<\/th>\n<th>2020<\/th>\n<th>AVG 2021-\n2025<\/th>\n<th>AVG 2026-\n2030<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total Labour Force<sup>4<\/sup><\/td>\n<td>5,777<\/td>\n<td>5,801<\/td>\n<td>5,795<\/td>\n<td>5,804<\/td>\n<td>5,919<\/td>\n<td>6,257<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total Non-Meat Processing Labour Requirement<sup>5<\/sup><\/td>\n<td>5,460<\/td>\n<td>5,496<\/td>\n<td>5,501<\/td>\n<td>5,524<\/td>\n<td>5,657<\/td>\n<td>5,978<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Residual Total Labour Force<sup>6<\/sup><\/td>\n<td>317<\/td>\n<td>304<\/td>\n<td>294<\/td>\n<td>279<\/td>\n<td>262<\/td>\n<td>279<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total Meat Processing Employment (Annual Average)<\/td>\n<td>577<\/td>\n<td>588<\/td>\n<td>598<\/td>\n<td>609<\/td>\n<td>642<\/td>\n<td>696<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13edefe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"13edefe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">FIGURE 5: TOTAL MEAT PROCESSING EMPLOYMENT AND RESIDUAL LABOUR FORCE \u2013 WYNYARD REGION \u2013 2017-2030<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbaa4cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dbaa4cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-17-at-2.46.10\u202fPM-1024x497.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5820\" alt=\"Bar graph of the Total Meat Processing Employment (Annual Average) Residual Labour Force.

Given much of the focus is on the lower-skill level labour force, the study also analyzed the \u201ctightness\u201d of the lowerskill level labour market (see Table 9 and Figure 6). The tightness of lower-skill level labour market is also high. For example, in 2017, the meat processing industry was able to recruit and employ 344 workers within a labour market that had a residual total labour force of only 148. This means that the meat processing industry was likely recruiting workers from other industries, and from outside the local region.

This is equivalent to approximately 63% of their current annual average workforce. This requirement is due to both anticipated industry growth and replacement of anticipated retirements over this period. Unfortunately, this recruitment will be occurring within the context of a very tight regional labour market that is currently experiencing labour shortages which are predicted to continue during this period. This tightness in the labour market is contributing to the high number of current vacancies experienced by employers in meat processing (estimated at 5% in Western Canada), and to some degree the higher turnover rates in the industry as workers have more employment opportunities from which to choose, particularly in the lower-skill level occupations (estimated imputed turnover rate of 43% in Saskatchewan in meat processing industry). All of these factors contribute to the substantial challenges facing Wynyard Region meat processors in their attempts to recruit enough workers to replace retirements, fill ongoing vacancies, while also trying to grow, remain competitive and increase productivity.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1ee3eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1ee3eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Overall, it is anticipated that as of 2017, there will be a need for increased numbers of new hires, due to both industry growth and the need for replacements due to anticipated retirements and deaths among the workforce (see Table 11).

The main source of labour supply has been maintained (local, longterm residents) and has been augmented to some extent by recent immigrants and workers from other sectors either returning to work locally and\/ or being attracted by the steady employment and wages.
