Nunavut’s Labour Market: Government still biggest sector Top Five Sectors by GDP, Rank, 2010 to 2014   2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 1st Public Admin 2nd Construction Education Mining 3rd 4th Health 5th Utilities Nunavut’s real GDP (gross domestic product) has increased about 18% over the period from 2013-2014. Specifically, Nunavut experienced increased economic activity in the mining and construction sectors over the past few years. Economic growth is expected to continue to increase in 2015 and, for the first time since its creation, Nunavut’s economy is looking to perform up to its potential with opportunities for growth in resource development, tourism, transportation and Arctic research. Government remains one of the biggest sources of economic activity in the territory along with construction, education and health. In recent years, mining development and production has increased to become the second biggest contributor to Nunavut’s economy, as measured by GDP. Source: Statistics Canada, 2015, CANSIM

Employment and Social Development Canada Employment Outlooks Title 2015 Rating 2016 Rating Plumbers Good Carpenters Electricians Heavy Equipment Operators Shippers and Receivers Public Workers and Maintenance Labourers Fair Material Handlers Construction Managers Facility Operation and Maintenance Managers Current employment outlooks cover the period of 2014 through 2016. The main sources of information used in developing the employment outlooks include the following; however other pertinent data sources may also be consulted: Census / National Household Survey (Statistics Canada) Labour Force Survey (Statistics Canada) Canadian Occupational Projections System (ESDC) Territorial E-Data series (Conference Board of Canada) Employment Insurance administrative data (ESDC) What do the employment outlooks mean? Good: This outlook is attributed to occupations where the short- to medium-term potential for employment is better than average in the region, when compared with other occupations. This situation is most favourable for job seekers and may be associated with a lack of qualified or experienced labour, high turnover, low unemployment rates, above average employment growth, high projected retirement rates, very specific job requirements, and/or a lack of interest by the available labour force, etc. Fair:This outlook is attributed to occupations where the short- to medium-term potential for employment is comparable to the average for all occupations in the region. This situation is often associated with an average or greater demand for labour and a supply of qualified labour that is very similar to estimated needs. Limited:: This outlook is attributed to occupations where the short- to medium-term potential for employment is below average in the region, when compared with other occupations. This situation is often associated with slow or declining projected employment growth, weakness in related industry activity, and/or higher levels of unemployment, etc. This is a more challenging situation for job seekers, especially new entrants such as school-leavers and immigrants, and may indicate that the labour supply in the region exceeds the estimated number of employment opportunities for the outlook period.

Non-Inuit are employed at disproportionate rates The non-Inuit population is employed at a much higher rate than the Inuit population. As of May 2015, the employment rate among the non-Inuit population was 86. 2 per cent - almost double the employment rate of the Inuit population, 45.5 per cent, during the same period.

Women experience higher employment rates Male 15+ Employment rate: 50.7% Unemployment rate: 23.4% Female 15+ Employment rate: 57.9% Unemployment rate: 8.1% Youth 15-24 Employment rate: 31.0% Unemployment rate: 22.8% To understand the drivers of Nunavut’s labour force growth, it is important to look at labour market participation – the number and percentage of working age people who are participating in the labour market either by working or looking for work- as it represents the total pool of potential labour for the economy. As of May 2015, adults between the ages of 45 and 54 had the highest labour market participation rate at 79.3 per cent followed by adults ages 55 to 59 at 76.8 per cent. Excluding individuals aged 65 and up, youth between the ages of 15 and 24 have the lowest average participation rate in the territory at 38.5 per cent. Given the territory’s young and rapidly growing population, ensuring the successful transition of youth into the labour force will become increasingly important to addressing labour shortages and skill gaps.
