3 2005 Nova Scotia Labour Market Review Employment Employment growth slows in 2005 Nova Scotia s employment grew strongly between 2001 and 2004, averaging 2.1%. This was slightly ahead of growth in Ontario and just short of the national average. However, employment growth slowed to 0.2% in This has been in part due to: a slowdown in the expansion of call centers; some decline in residential construction activity (from historically high levels of the early 2000s); a decline in tourism activity and; the negative impact of a strong CAN dollar which has cut significantly into manufacturing employment. (Figure 1: Nova Scotia Average Annual Growth in Employment, ) There were 443,100 Nova Scotians employed in 2005 and 16,169,722 persons employed nationally.

Between 2001 and 2005, the number of people employed in Nova Scotia increased by 27,900 or 6.7%. Comparatively, the number of people employed nationally increased by 1,223,500 or 8.2%. (Figure 2: Nova Scotia Average Annual Employment, ) Nova Scotia s employment rate is lower than that of the national average. In 2005, Nova Scotia s employment rate was 58.2% compared to the national average of 62.7%.

4 Unemployment Lowest unemployment rate in the Atlantic provinces Nova Scotia has had the lowest unemployment rate in the Atlantic provinces since However, unemployment rates have been higher than the national average. In 2005, the unemployment rate was 8.4% in Nova Scotia compared to 6.8% nationally. (Figure 4: Provincial and National Unemployment Rates, 2005) Economic Regions The Halifax region has the lowest unemployment rate The Halifax region has had the lowest unemployment rate in Nova Scotia for the past five years. In 2005, Halifax s unemployment rate was 5.8%. The Cape Breton region has the highest unemployment rate in the province 14.4% in (Figure 6: Nova Scotia Unemployment Rates by Economic Region, ) Figure 4: Provincial and National Unemployment Rates, 2005 Unemployment rate 2005, ages 15 years and over 2 16% 12% 8% 4% CA NF PE NS NB QE ON MN SK AB BC Figure 6: Nova Scotia Unemployment Rates by Economic Region, % 12% 8% 4% Cape Breton Southern North Shore Annapolis Valley Halifax, 2005 Despite a lower rate of employment growth, the unemployment rate continued to decline in 2005 due to a decline in the number of people in the labour force. Since 2001, Nova Scotia s unemployment rates have been declining, from 9.7% in 2001 to 8.4% in (Figure 5: Nova Scotia and Canada Unemployment Rates, ) Figure 5: Nova Scotia and Canada Unemployment Rates, Canada Nova Scotia % 6% 4% Between 2001 and 2004, there was little change in Cape Breton s employment (-0.3%), while in other regions in the province employment was greater than the national average. The strongest growth was in the Southern (3.5%), North Shore (2.4%) and Annapolis Valley (2.4%) regions, followed by Halifax (2.2%). In 2005, Nova Scotia s employment growth declined to 0.2% which was significantly lower than the national average of 1.4%. Cape Breton s employment growth was 6.5% in 2005, which is a reversal of the trend from the 2001 to 2004 period. The Southern and Annapolis Valley regions also saw a reversal of 2001 to 2004 trends. In 2005, employment in these regions declined by 4.5% for the Southern Region and 2.4% for the Annapolis Valley Region.

5 Industries The services producing sector is the greatest source of employment growth Nova Scotia has a higher percentage of employment in the services producing sector than the national average (79.4% vs. 75.2% nationally). Employment in the goods producing sector has changed little in the past 30 years. The services producing sector has been the primary source of employment growth, and this pattern can be expected to continue. Figure 8: Goods and Services Producing Sector Canada and Nova Scotia, Percentage of Employment 2005 Nova Scotia Canada 85% % 3 15% Services Producing Sector Goods Producing Sector, 2005 Nationally there has been long term growth in the goods producing sector, but the services producing sector is the largest source of employment growth. (Figure 8: Goods and Services Producing Sector Canada and Nova Scotia, Percentage of Employment 2005) Greatest increase in employment in health care and social assistance and business, building and other support services Between 2001 and 2005, the industries that saw the greatest increases in employment in Nova Scotia were health care and social assistance (6,700 jobs), business, building and other support services, including call centers (6,700 jobs) and accommodation and food services (4,100 jobs). The industry groups that saw the greatest decreases in employment were information, culture and recreation (-2,000 jobs), manufacturing (-1,900 jobs) and agriculture (-1,700 jobs).

6 Agriculture and forestry, fishing, mining, oil and gas had the highest unemployment rates in Nova Scotia in 2005 at 17.1%. As these are largely seasonal industries, higher unemployment rates can be expected. The industries with the lowest unemployment rates were health care and social assistance at 2.1% and finance, insurance, real estate and leasing at 3.1%. (Figure 9: Nova Scotia Employment by Industry Group, on the previous page) Provincial and national industry employment growth differs considerably A comparison of employment growth by industry from 2001 to 2005 reveals that Nova Scotia differs from national industry growth figures in several significant ways. Employment growth in the following sectors has exceeded the national average: real estate and leasing (55.6% vs. 16.5% nationally); business, building and other support services (38.3% vs. 21.8% nationally); accommodation and food services (14.9% vs. 6.5% nationally); and professional, scientific and technical services (14.1% vs. 6.4% nationally). (Figure 10: Employment Growth by Industry, ) Nova Scotia s employment growth has fallen short of the national average in the following sectors: agriculture (-22.7% vs. 6.3% nationally); information, culture and recreation (-11.2% vs. 3.6% nationally); utilities (-11.1% vs. 0.7% nationally); and finance and insurance (-9.4% vs. 11.2% nationally).

7 Occupations Employment growth strongest in the health occupations The health occupations in Nova Scotia saw the greatest amount of employment growth over the 2001 to 2005 period (18.1% vs. 18.2% nationally). Demand for the health occupations is expected to continue due to increasing consumption of health care services by Nova Scotia s aging population. Occupations in art, culture, recreation and sport as well as business, finance and administrative occupations also saw strong employment growth, 13. and 10.1% respectively. Nova Scotia s employment growth rates differed significantly from national averages for certain occupational groups. Employment growth for occupations unique to processing, manufacturing and utilities was 7. provincially and -0.5% nationally. Employment growth for trades, transport and equipment operators was 2.7% provincially and 8.4% nationally. (Figure 11: Employment Growth by Occupational Group, ) In 2005, management occupations and occupations in social science, government service and religion had the lowest unemployment rates at 2.2% and 3.7% respectively. (Figure 12: Nova Scotia Employment by Major Occupational Group, , on the next page) Figure 11: Employment Growth by Occupational Group, Nova Scotia Canada Total, all occupations Management occupations Business, finance and administrative occupations Natural and applied sciences and related occupations Health occupations Occupations in social science, education, government service and religion Occupations in art, culture, recreation and sport Sales and service occupations Trades, transport and equipment operators and related occupations Occupations unique to primary industry Occupations unique to processing, manufacturing and utilities % 0 5% 1 15% Nova Scotia Labour Market Review 5

In 2005, 59. of Nova Scotians aged 25 to 64 had a post-secondary certificate, diploma or degree, slightly above the national average (58.3%). less than high school high school graduate some post secondary post-secondary certificate or diploma university degree, 2005 In contrast, there are more Nova Scotians with lower levels of education than the national average. In 2005, 18. of Nova Scotians aged 25 to 64 did not have a high school diploma, compared to 14.8% nationally.

9 Highest adult literacy scores in the Atlantic provinces The 2003 International Adult Literacy and Skills Survey (IALSS) measured the literacy, numeracy and problem solving skills of the Canadian population. Literacy, numeracy and problem solving are essential skills in the workplace and are fundamental to economic growth and productivity. Level 4/5 performance denotes the highest proficiency levels and Level 1 denotes the lowest. The survey results showed that Nova Scotia has average scores that are virtually the same as the Canadian averages. (Figure 14: Nova Scotia Adult Literacy, 2003) The survey also showed that Nova Scotia has adult literacy scores that were higher than those of the other Atlantic provinces.

The number of births has declined substantially since 1990, while the number of deaths has risen steadily. The natural rate of population growth has fallen, so that in 2005 population growth was negligible (167 persons). In coming years, this number can be expected to continue to decline until there are more deaths than births, making the natural rate of population increase negative. In 2005, Nova Scotia s natural rate of population increase was significantly lower than the national average (0.02% vs. 0.34% nationally). (Figure 15: Average Annual Births and Deaths, Nova Scotia, ) Net immigration currently makes a small contribution to population and labour force size Between 2001 and 2005, immigration averaged 1,605, while emigration averaged 880. Net international migration to Nova Scotia averaged 729. Compared to national averages, Nova Scotia s rate of immigration is small relative to the size of its population. (Figure 16: Nova Scotia Immigration, ) Figure 16: Nova Scotia Immigration, Annual Number of Immigrants Annual Number of Total Emigrants Net Immigration 2,000 Figure 15: Average Annual Births and Deaths, Nova Scotia, Annual Number of Births Annual Number of Deaths 9,000 8,922 8,693 8,635 8,628 8,600 8,580 8,413 8,271 8,200 8,093 7,922 7,847 7,800 7,600 1,600 1, ,761 1, , , , , Data Source: Statistics Canada, Annual Demographic Statistics 7,200 Data Source: Statistics Canada, Annual Demographic Statistics 2005 Nova Scotia Labour Market Review 7
10 Net inter-provincial migration influenced by economic conditions Between 2001 and 2005, average inter-provincial in-migration was 15,933 and average inter-provincial out-migration was 16,675. Average net inter-provincial migration was -742, which offset population increases from international migration to the province during 2001 to Variations in inter-provincial migration are in part due to economic conditions in the province, increasing during years when the economy is strong and decreasing during years when it is weaker. (Figure 17: Nova Scotia Interprovincial Migration, ) Figure 17: Nova Scotia Interprovincial Migration, Annual Number of Interprovincial In-Migrants Net Interprovincial Migration 20,000 15,000 10,000 5, ,000 Data Source: Statistics Canada, Annual Demographic Statistics High levels of inter-provincial outmigration related to employment opportunities in other provinces Nova Scotia has a higher unemployment rate (8.5% vs. 6.8% nationally), a lower employment rate (58.2% vs. 62.7% nationally), and a lower participation rate (63.6% vs. 67.2% nationally) than the national average. Alberta stands out as a particularly strong draw for inter-provincial migration with the lowest unemployment rate in the country indicating strong demand for labour in the province. (Figure 18: Labour Force Statistics, 2005) Figure 18: Labour Force Statistics, 2005 Canada Nova Scotia Alberta 85% 6 45% 3 15,313 17,390-2,077 16,331 17, Annual Number of Interprovincial Out-Migrants 16,686 16, ,087 15, ,251 16, Older population means older labour force Nova Scotia stands out as having small youth cohort and a large older cohort. In comparison with national figures, Nova Scotia has a higher percentage of people who are 45 years of age or older. Therefore, older workers are a large and growing component of the provincial labour force. (Figure 19: Age Distributions by Percentage of Population, Canada and Nova Scotia 2005) Figure 19: Age Distributions by Percentage of Population, Canada and Nova Scotia 2005 Canada Nova Scotia Increasing employment rates for older workers Employment rates for Nova Scotians aged 45 and older have been increasing for the past few years. In 2005, the employment rate for Nova Scotians aged 45 to 64 was 64%. This is less than the national average of 69.6%. Considering Nova Scotia s demographic outlook, the participation of older workers in the labour force will be increasingly important in the coming years.
