class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Survey findings suggest the overwhelming majority of seafood processors in Canada are experiencing labour shortages and recruitment challenges. 83% of seafood processors report some form of recruitment challenges, with nearly one-fifth of seafood processors report not being able to fill positions.<\/li><li>Recruitment challenges result in more than 1-in-10 jobs left unfilled. On average, employers reported 11% of paid positions vacant over the year \u2013 This translates to 1,800 unfilled positions.<\/li><li>Management, shellfish plant workers and supervisors were the top key occupations cited by seafood processors while vacancies for general production workers were hardest to fill.<\/li><li>Atlantic seafood processors hired an estimated 6,300 new workers over the past year. This represents a 40% turnover rate for key occupations in the industry.<\/li><li>The results suggest the industry is highly dependent on older workers with 37% filled by workers aged 55+. This is well above the all industry average of 21% and suggest rising retirements will increase recruitment challenges in coming years.<\/li><li>Survey suggests about 1-in-5 (22%) seafood processors, representing 40% of the workforce, employed workers through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), which translates to approximately 7% of industry positions filled by temporary foreign workers over the past year. Over 40% of lobster processors used the TFWP, accounting for 14% positions.<\/li><li>On \u201caverage\u201d seafood processors employed 108 workers, with one-quarter (24%) employing less than 10, and 14% employing 200+. Nearly twothirds (65%) of Atlantic Canada\u2019s seafood processing workforce was reported as part-time or seasonal, a factor which can exacerbate hiring challenges.<\/li><li>The industry is heavily dependent on exports. Overall, 84% of participants reported exporting to the US and 68% export internationally<\/li><li>In total n=100 Atlantic seafood processing employers participated in the survey conducted by Ipsos SA between December 30th, 2017 and April 23rd, 2018 using telephone and on-line methodologies. It is estimated that the Seafood processor survey participants represent two-thirds (69%) of the total industry
