Table 20 shows the occupations with the greatest hiring requirements under the baseline scenario. British Columbia requires significant numbers of heavy equipment operators, truck drivers and heavy duty mechanics.

Territories As discussed earlier in this report, employment in the Territories (Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon) is expected to grow under all three scenarios. The relatively small workforce will increase from 3,500 to 4,000 under the baseline scenario by 2020. This is an average growth rate of 1.8 per cent, the fastest projected pace of job growth of all Canada’s regions. The bulk of the hiring requirements will take place earlier in the Territories than in the other Canadian regions. As shown in Table 21, the region will need to hire 1,100 workers over the next three years in the baseline scenario. This represents nearly 42 per cent of total projected hiring requirements by 2020. In that year, the Territories will need to hire 2,650 workers under the baseline scenario.

As shown in Figure 21, the Territories’ hiring requirements will moderate in the second half of the forecast period under the baseline scenario. Table 22 shows the occupations with the greatest hiring requirements in the Territories under the baseline scenario. Similar to other regions (Atlantic, Prairies and British Columbia), the occupations that require the most hires are heavy equipment operators, underground production and development miners, and truck drivers.
