The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment growth will lead to a moderate number of new positions.
• Several positions will become available due to retirements.

The prospect for employment in this occupation is good as there continues to be a shortage of workers and unfilled vacancies in the province due to strong gains in both residential and non-residential investment.

The large majority of the employed labour force in this occupation worked in the construction industry, specifically in the residential building construction subsector and for specialty trade contractors.  This is a relatively small occupational group in P.E.I.
