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.

Note that I am running for congress on October 25. I am running under the banner of the CPF in the province of Alberta, to be confirmed by the CPF. Here is my campaign presentation, please consider voting for me on October 25th.

Labour



In the building trade, offers are down (27 v 34 v 46) and wages are down ($12.87 v $14.09 v $11.3😎. Building is consistently the highest paid trade and remains so this week, even with a drop in pay of over $1. The hospital projects are driving this, and based on the high number of high skill offers (15 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 (79 v 89 v 11😎 as are wages ($6.42 v $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 1/2/3 bracket with 37 offers found here.

In the producing trade, offers are up (105 v 100 v 86) and wages are down ($6.38 v $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😵.



By rights, this ratio should be consistent for each labour type and should only vary by the quality of the company.
