Alberta to gain 80,000 jobs in other than oil services. Workforce forcast to go up one percent this year.

Anyone know who is hiring? Not looking for a job. Just wondering.

You still can't hire a tradesman for example. Job loss so far is just related to new projects. A year below $50 will see different numbers. Then only the 25 year old farmers will still be able to live like rock stars.

Funny lots of condos new and homes that have no sales for in Regina! Trades will slow also! Grain companies looking for guys to teach grain marketing to farmers no experience necessary!

Blackpowder, you can get tradesmen around here all of the sudden - and your truck into the garage at 8am the next day, dealerships advertising to do detailing for $95 a time, welders looking for farm repair jobs. Things have changed in a big way - how the mighty have fallen.
