Dialogue on the Future of the NWT Labour Market
Following CDETNO’s mission which is to promote, stimulate, and support economic development and employability, the organization wishes with this activity on October 17 At the Yellowknife Historical Museum from 2 p.m. to start a dialogue with the main stakeholders around the table.
Based on NWT Bureau of Statistics projections, there will be 13,100 job openings between 2023 and 2032, for an average of 1,310 jobs annually. Yellowknife (59%) and South Slave (16%) are expected to have a larger share of job openings, corresponding with the higher employment levels in the two regions compared to the rest of the territory.
At the same time, other reports, like the one titled “Eyes Wide Open,” indicate that the NWT economy is on a trajectory that will see its mining, oil, and gas sector diminish to a small fraction of what it is today. It states that around 1,500 jobs will be lost by the closure of the Diavik mine, which will take place from 2026 to 2030.
