PET OF THE WEEK Trillium Can I ask you a question? How would you like to be greeted by a soft cheek being rubbed on yours first thing in the morning, or when you get home from work, or when you're just sitting on the couch. The list is endless because that's the way that I hug so I'd love to show you how much you mean to me whenever I can. I love other kitties, especially if they're dogs, but both are fine by me. I am a pretty special girl and I have a really interesting life story, so maybe you can come and ask about me. I think you're going to want to take me home.

Dear Working Wise: I keep hearing about a shortage of labour in Alberta, but I also know a few people who are struggling to find good jobs, including myself. Something doesn’t add up here. Is there really a labour shortage? Signed Suspicious
Dear Suspicious: No, Alberta is not facing a severe labour shortage right now—our labour market is nearly balanced with an unemployment rate a little below five per cent. Most experts consider a five per cent unemployment rate to be a balanced labour market.
Your first step should be to research your career options and find out which of the high-growth occupations interests you.
However, Alberta is facing a skills shortage and that is why you might be struggling to find a job while employers are struggling to find people.
I also recommend that you check out Alberta’s Occupational Demand and Supply Outlook 2011-2021. The outlook predicts the labour demand and supply for more than 500 occupations in Alberta over the next decade.
Benjamin Tal, with CIBC World Markets, released a report at the end of November, called Assessing Labour Market Mismatch, that talks about the current mismatch of available and needed skills. According to his report, around 30 per cent of businesses can’t find people with the right skills A second report, The Haves and Have Nots of Canada’s Labour Market, released in early December, identifies 25 high-demand and 20 low-demand occupations. The report is available at: http://research.cibcwm.com/economic_public/download/if_2012-1203.pdf. As you might expect, the reports found that high-demand occupations not only offer more opportunities for employment, they also found that salaries tend to rise faster in high-demand occupations. Our current skills shortage is a big problem for Alberta businesses, but it presents a tremendous opportunity to Albertans who are willing to seize the day.
You could start with Benjamin Tal’s top 25 “have” occupations.
For example, the outlook forecasts a demand for 15,000 Heavy Duty Mechanics in Alberta by 2021 and a shortage of around 775, leaving a gap of around five per cent. The 10-year outlook is similar for Truck Drivers with demand for 51,098 drivers and a shortage of 2,635 drivers. Once you narrow down your list of potential careers, you can learn more about them, including any required training, through the occupational profiles on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) web site at http://alis.alberta.ca. Finally, any Albertan who wants help finding a job or help researching a more rewarding career can visit their local Alberta Works Centre. You can find your nearest Alberta Works Centre at http://humanservices.alberta.ca/offices Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
