Highlights Job openings are created largely by Attrition, although Expansion plays a stronger role than in previous forecasts in all regions except for Northern BC. Job openings in Northern BC are created almost solely (close to 95%) by Attrition. At least 1 in 5 Welders working today will leave the labour market by the end of the forecast period. For BC, the High Investment scenario will generate a total of about 420 more Job Openings than the Low in the first five years of the forecast. In the final 5 years the Low Investment scenario out performs the High by just over 180 job openings. The net effect is the High Scenario generates about 240 more job openings than the Low. This is similar in Northern BC. 7 in 10 of the workers who add to the supply of Welders are newly trained and new to the workforce. In Northern BC, this figure is almost 100%. 50% of Welders live in the Lower Mainland. Another 15% are in Northern BC. On average, today s Welders have 14-24 years left in their working lives. 22

Highlights The High Investment scenario will generate a total of about 170 more Job Openings than the Low in the first five years of the forecast. In the final 5 years the Low Investment scenario out performs the High by almost 90 job openings Job openings for Civil Engineers are created by Attrition and Expansion in largely equal parts. In Northern BC, Attrition generates 4 in 5 job openings. At least 1 in 4 Civil Engineers today will leave the labour market by 2024. This labour market also shows a high (25-50%) reliance on Immigration as a source of new workers in the occupation. About 1 in 2 of the New Supply of Civil Engineers are New Entrants newly trained and new to the labour market. 3 in 4 in Northern BC. 80% of Civil Engineers live in the Lower Mainland, while just 2% live in Northern BC. On average, Civil Engineers have 11-21 years left in their working lives. 27
