15. Focus of Demonstration Projects<br />

Consistent with other industry sectors in Canada, the employment trend suggests that<br />

the hydrogen <strong>and</strong> fuel cell sector experienced the effects of the economic downturn<br />

<strong>and</strong> credit crisis.<br />

Survey participants reported a total of 1,556 employees involved in hydrogen <strong>and</strong> fuel<br />

cell activities in 2008. A breakdown by region was reported for 1,348 of the 1,556<br />

employees. In 2008, the largest proportion of industry employees was located in<br />

Canada at 89%, 5% in the United States, <strong>and</strong> the remaining 6% overseas in Sc<strong>and</strong>inavia,<br />

Belgium, China <strong>and</strong> Germany.<br />

In Canada, most employees were located in British Columbia (874), followed by<br />

Ontario, Alberta <strong>and</strong> Quebec.<br />

49% of companies surveyed had fewer than 10 employees. 27% had 10 to 25<br />

employees, 8% had between 25 <strong>and</strong> 50, <strong>and</strong> 16% had more than 50 employees.<br />

Based on the data provided for number of employees <strong>and</strong> total salaries, the average<br />

annual salary paid to employees was $77,622. Extrapolating the average salary for 2008<br />

to the 1,385 employees in Canada, the sector contributed $108 million in salaries to<br />

the national economy.<br />
