Key seafood processing towns include Old Perlican (pop. 633) and Bay de Verde (pop. 392). The region is located 170 kilometres from St. John\u2019s, the province\u2019s capital city (pop. 178,000). Overall, median hourly wages for shellfish\/fish labourers and plant workers in the region are comparable with other regions in the province. The median hourly wages were higher than for some of the other C and D level occupations available in the region (e.g., retail, cashiers), but on par with other labourintensive occupations.<\/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-d0a3431 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d0a3431\" 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 local seafood processing employment at both average and peak demand already exceeds available supply requiring workers from outside the region. This is not expected to change over the forecast period. Seasonal peaks in seafood processing employment in Old Perlican raise demands by nearly double (97%) above annual average employment.<\/p><p>The population in the region is expected to slowly decline at an annual rate of just less than 1% over the next decade. Combined with an aging population, the size of the labour force is anticipated to decline over the upcoming period from 1,453 in 2017 to 1,331 by 2030. The overall unemployment rate during this period is expected to also decline from 17% (2017) to approximately 11% (2030).<\/p><p>Seafood processing workforce in the Old Perlican Region is expected to decrease from an estimated average of 716 workers to 706 workers between 2017 and 2030 (average estimates), a decrease of 10 workers (-1%). Accounting for replacement demand (retirements or death) local processors will likely need to hire an estimated 362 new workers between 2018 and 2030. This figure does not include turnovers, which can add significantly to total annual recruitment demands.<\/p><p>Labour market tightness: The labour market tightness, a measure calculated by estimating labour requirements in other sectors in Old Perlican Region and subtracting those requirements from the total labour force estimates, reveals substantial challenges facing this industry at average and peak levels.<\/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\"

The regionally focused LMI is one component of a broader study undertaken by Food Processing Skills Canada (FPSC) in collaboration with the Employment and Social Development Canada and various provincial and industry partners entitled Securing Canada\u2019s Fish and Seafood Workforce: Real Challenges, Practical Solutions and Fresh Perspectives. <\/strong><\/p><p>The aim of the overall study is to identify the scope of human resource (HR) challenges for the Atlantic fish and seafood processing sector and compile HR best practices that would help employers meet their labour force current and future needs. 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 fish and seafood processing for their local economies. Twelve regions across the four Atlantic provinces were selected for specific focus based on the amount of processing activity, and proportion of labour force working in the industry. Old Perlican in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) was selected as one of these regions for detailed focus.<\/p><p>The initial sections of this report provide overviews of the Old Perlican Region, fish and seafood processing overall in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and specifically in the Old Perlican 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 THESE DETAILED REGIONAL PROFILES INCLUDED:<\/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.

Overall, it will be an aging population with the proportion of the age cohort 65 years or older rising from 29% in 2017 to approximately 38% by 2030 (see Figure 1). The population growth will be negatively impacted by the continued aging of the population and increased number of deaths, along with a decline in birth rate. There will be a net negative migration pattern (outmigration) anticipated up until 2022, at which point the migration pattern will turn to net positive (in-migration), but this not expected to offset the negative natural population growth (i.e., deaths exceeding births) (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-5a84d86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a84d86\" 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>FIGURE 1: POPULATION BY AGE GROUP (%) (2017 TO 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-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=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-30-at-2.27.17\u202fPM-1024x513.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6760\" alt=\"Bar chart showing the percentage distribution of population by age group from 2017 to 2030.

GDP growth averages 0.5% over the medium term before increasing to 1.6% per year over 2022-2026 as production at the White West Rose oil field helps to offset the end of production at Terra Nova and the Voisey\u2019s Bay nickel mine extension comes online.

There are many reasons for the improvement in overall real output. There is expected to be a deceleration in the decline in overall consumption and ultimately a reversal as population decline moderates and consumer demand for prepared fish products improves. International exports are expected to rise at a moderate pace throughout the forecast period as trading partner market growth is moderately strong and trade agreements encourage market penetration in the European Union and in the members of the TPP trade pact. Interprovincial exports are expected to improve as consumer demand for processed fish products in other provinces increase. Interindustry demand also improves as the demand for processed fish inputs rises, primarily as a result of increased provincial food production.<\/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-bb3439a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bb3439a\" 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 2: NL PREPARED SEAFOOD END MARKET GROWTH (ANNUAL AVERAGE % CHANGE)<\/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-31c29ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"31c29ac\" 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=\"blue-table-3\">\n    <tbody>\n      <tr>\n        <th>END MARKET<\/th>\n        <th>2013-2017<\/th>\n        <th>2018-2021<\/th>\n        <th>2022-2026<\/th>\n        <th>2027-2030<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Consumption<\/td>\n        <td>-0.8<\/td>\n        <td>-0.8<\/td>\n        <td>-0.3<\/td>\n        <td>0.0<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>International Exports<\/td>\n        <td>-8.2<\/td>\n        <td>1.6<\/td>\n        <td>2.5<\/td>\n        <td>2.6<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Interprovincial Exports<\/td>\n        <td>-0.4<\/td>\n        <td>0.5<\/td>\n        <td>0.6<\/td>\n        <td>0.9<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Interindustry Demand<\/td>\n        <td>-0.8<\/td>\n        <td>-0.4<\/td>\n        <td>1.6<\/td>\n        <td>1.7<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Imports<\/td>\n        <td>-0.7<\/td>\n        <td>-0.5<\/td>\n        <td>0.0<\/td>\n        <td>0.3<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Total End Market Demand<\/td>\n        <td>-7.9<\/td>\n        <td>1.5<\/td>\n        <td>2.6<\/td>\n        <td>2.6<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09cbee0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"09cbee0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.3  SEAFOOD PROCESSING EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK FOR NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27a383d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"27a383d\" 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\">Seafood processing employment is expected to remain near current levels of 1,500 workers (-0.7% change from 2018 to 2030) assuming the industry can sustain significant productivity gains.

The processing plants operate on a seasonal basis and open around April and run through until late fall\/early winter depending on product availability.<\/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-e8de5d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e8de5d2\" 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\">THE CURRENT INDUSTRY WORKFORCE IS MORE THAN 1,400 WORKERS AT PEAK SEASON WITH OVER TWO-THIRDS BEING LABOURERS AND PLANT WORKERS.  <\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66ced71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"66ced71\" 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\">4.1.1 WORKFORCE SIZE &amp; OCCUPATIONS<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc9d4d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dc9d4d2\" 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\tThe estimated total number of individuals employed by the sector in the Old Perlican Region in 2017 was 716 on average and rising to 1,408 at peak season<sup>4<\/sup> (see Table 3). Over two-thirds of all employed at the peak season (68%) were labourers (NOC 9618) or plant workers (NOC 9463). This distribution was confirmed during interviews where plants made large recruitment efforts during the peak season to ensure sufficient numbers of labourers and plant workers would be available to meet their requirements with many workers relocating from other regions in Newfoundland to work at the plants in this region. The labourer positions do not generally require previous experience or training and are often the entry level position for many of the plants. The plant worker jobs generally require some experience in the industry.\n\n(6-12 months) with on-the-job training (e.g., operating specific pieces of equipment).

These factors will also contribute to a decline in the labour force, at a slightly slower rate than population decline given the aging population. The labour force is anticipated to decline from a current 4,300 to over 4,100 by 2030. Overall, average unemployment rates are expected to decline over the period given the shrinking labour force. <\/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-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 seafood processing in the identified regions. This was calculated by estimating labour requirements in other sectors in the region (nonseafood 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 seafood processing needs to draw. Not all of the seafood 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 seafood 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-seafood processing and seafood processing).<\/p><p>As illustrated in Table 7 and Figure 6, the Total Seafood Processing Employment (Annual Average and Peak) is lower than the Residual Total Labour Force. This suggests that there is currently (2017) sufficient local labour force to meet all of the region\u2019s labour requirements. However, the labour market tightens over the projection period, with the residual labour force falling while employment requirements in the industry increase, thus resulting in a tighter labour market by 2026.<\/p><p>The analysis outlined in Table 7 and Figure 6 describes the labour market context within which the fish and seafood processors are operating with respect to finding sufficient numbers of workers from the local labour supply. Within this competitive labour market, the industry employers have had some success recruiting. For example, in peak season in 2017, the seafood processing industry was able to recruit and employ 437 within a labour market that had a residual total labour force of only 469. This means that the seafood processing industry was likely recruiting workers from other industries, and potentially recruiting workers 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.<\/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-7fa1e8d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7fa1e8d\" 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>TABLE 7: TOTAL LABOUR MARKET TIGHTNESS: OLD PERLICAN 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-ceafa14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ceafa14\" 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=\"blue-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 2021-2025<\/th>\n        <th>AVG 2026-2030<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Total Labour Force<sup>7<\/sup><\/td>\n        <td>1,453<\/td>\n        <td>1,414<\/td>\n        <td>1,395<\/td>\n        <td>1,347<\/td>\n        <td>1,301<\/td>\n        <td>1,331<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Total Non-Seafood Processing Labour Requirement<sup>8<\/sup><\/td>\n        <td>1,286<\/td>\n        <td>1,248<\/td>\n        <td>1,237<\/td>\n        <td>1,203<\/td>\n        <td>1,182<\/td>\n        <td>1,233<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Residual Total Labour Force<sup>9<\/sup><\/td>\n        <td>168<\/td>\n        <td>166<\/td>\n        <td>158<\/td>\n        <td>144<\/td>\n        <td>119<\/td>\n        <td>98<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Total Seafood Processing Employment (Annual Average)<\/td>\n        <td>716<\/td>\n        <td>712<\/td>\n        <td>698<\/td>\n        <td>698<\/td>\n        <td>698<\/td>\n        <td>706<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>Total Seafood Processing Employment (Peak)<\/td>\n        <td>1,408<\/td>\n        <td>1,399<\/td>\n        <td>1,373<\/td>\n        <td>1,372<\/td>\n        <td>1,372<\/td>\n        <td>1,387<\/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\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5471801 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5471801\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-322e719 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"322e719\" 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 6: TOTAL SEAFOOD PROCESSING EMPLOYMENT AND RESIDUAL LABOUR FORCE: OLD PERLICAN 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-3bc7585 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3bc7585\" 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=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-30-at-3.36.43\u202fPM-1024x647.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6778\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-30-at-3.36.43\u202fPM-1024x647.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-30-at-3.36.43\u202fPM-300x189.webp 300w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-30-at-3.36.43\u202fPM-768x485.webp 768w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-30-at-3.36.43\u202fPM.png 1416w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c212b99 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c212b99\" 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\">7 The labour force includes all individuals who are either employed or unemployed and actively seeking work.

As well, these occupations are noted among plant managers as the most challenging with respect to recruitment and retention. Given that much of the focus is on the lower-skill labour force, the study also analyzed the \u201ctightness\u201d of the lowerskill labour market (see Table 8 and Figure 7). The tightness of lower-skill labour market is also high, particularly in peak season. For example, in peak season in 2017, the seafood processing industry was able to recruit and employ 905 workers within a labour market that had a residual total labour force of only 115. This means that the seafood processing industry was likely recruiting workers from outside the local region. This level of tightness suggests that many of the industries that rely on a lower-skill labour market are also experiencing labour shortages in this region.<\/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-01af2a2 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"01af2a2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6540f40 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6540f40\" 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 7: LOWER-SKILL SEAFOOD PROCESSING EMPLOYMENT AND RESIDUAL LABOUR FORCE: OLD PERLICAN 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-34202ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"34202ce\" 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=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-30-at-3.44.21\u202fPM-1024x524.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6779\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-30-at-3.44.21\u202fPM-1024x524.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-30-at-3.44.21\u202fPM-300x154.webp 300w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-30-at-3.44.21\u202fPM-768x393.webp 768w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-30-at-3.44.21\u202fPM.png 1340w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\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-1647563 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1647563\" 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-b54bc38 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b54bc38\" 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>The overall summary of the labour market tightness as modelled for the Old Perlican Region demonstrates that the local labour force is unable to meet the employment requirements of employers in the area at average or peak levels.

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. The requirement to attract new workers over this period will be challenging as the employers are also trying to grow, remain competitive and increase productivity.<\/strong><\/p><p>Overall, it is anticipated that while there will be some shedding of jobs in the short-term (2017) due to negative industry growth. However, as of 2018, there will be a need for increased numbers of new hires to address required replacements due to retirements and deaths among the workforce (see Table 10).<\/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-51185c8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"51185c8\"

This results in \u201ca greater likelihood of sick notes\u201d and absenteeism during some of the busier months. It was also noted that those who are on EI can only work a limited number of extra hours in a week, after which the money they earn is deducted from EI payments.

Crab asthma is caused by exposure to the dusts, mists, fumes or aerosols that are generated when cooking, steaming, washing, sawing, crushing, scrubbing or scraping crab in processing plants. During these activities, proteins that are in the crab may be released into the air. Once these are in the air, they can enter people\u2019s lungs and breathing tubes. Some people\u2019s bodies have an abnormal response to these proteins. This abnormal response, called sensitization, can develop after several weeks or even years of exposure. HR issues arise as staff have to be assigned to other areas of the plant, or assigned to process other species (e.g., shrimp).<\/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-b8ee1a7 blue-section e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b8ee1a7\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33eab93 blue-section e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"33eab93\" 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-7a70e60 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7a70e60\" 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\">8.0 <\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b2d6c4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6b2d6c4\" 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-240ce46 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"240ce46\" 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>8.0 <\/span>PROMISING PRACTICES  AND INNOVATIONS<\/h2>\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\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9818b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c9818b1\" 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>Employers in the region are trying various approaches to address the challenges with labour supply and retention.
