Workforce and Advanced Learning Minister Sonny Gallant says the fact more Islanders are working full time this year than in 2016, is an improvement — but he says there are opportunities for more growth in the job market.
WorkPEI currently has close to 500 jobs that are listed and the government says it continues to work closely with the private sector to support job creation in key sectors.
Labour force numbers released by Statistics Canada last week showed Canada’s labour market posted its ninth straight month of job gains in August to give the economy its longest monthly growth streak in over nine years.
