WINNIPEG — The short-term prospects aren’t looking so good for Winnipeg job-seekers, according to the latest monthly help-wanted index report from the Conference Board of Canada.
The board said April’s index, which is based on the number of new, unduplicated jobs posted on 79 job-posting websites in Canada, was down in Winnipeg and 17 other Canadian cities.
Only one metropolitan area — Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo — showed improved employment prospects. Prospects were stable in the other seven cities surveyed.
The board said labour markets also remain tight in Western Canada. A tight labour market means the ratio of unemployed workers to available jobs remains low.
