CPM: Labour Report (Day 694)

Day 694, 20:26 • Published in Canada Canada • by Addy Lawrence
A little background on this report. Each week, I go to the labour market. I log all of the offers at that moment. I group them by discipline and by skill level. I then compare them to previous reports.

Labour



In the building trade, offers are down (34 v 46) and wages are way up ($14.09 v $11.3😎. Building is consistently the highest paid trade and this week its a record high. The hospital projects are driving this, and based on the high number of high skill offers (23 offers in 5/6/7 brackets) people are looking for high level producers and willing to pay big bucks for them.

In the gathering trade, offers are down (89 v 11😎 as are wages ($8.21 v $9.43). The commodity markets, and moreso the product market, are really tightening up and this is manifesting itself with lower wages. Again, the offers are skewed toward the 5/6/7 bracket with 53 offers found here.

In the producing trade, offers are up (100 v 86) and wages are way down ($6.45 v $8.82). This is the lowest wage observed to date in this study and is a testament to how competitive the product market is. Gunsmiths are a popular vocation and peacetime is a gunsmiths nightmare.

I've added another chart for labour, this one shows how much GM's pay for the skill level of the employee (ie $5.00 for a 2 skill worker would be $2.50 per skill or 250😵.
