Farms throughout Canada are forecast to suffer a labour shortage over the next eight years with too few agricultural service contractors and farm supervisors to do the tough job of ensuring enough food is produced.
The federal Canada jobs hunting and career-planning Job Bank website is forecasting a shortfall of 5,900 of these workers from now to 2031.
”New job openings arising from expansion demand and replacement demand are expected to total 19,800, while 13,900 new job seekers arising from school leavers, immigration and mobility are expected to be available to fill them,” states Job Bank.
“Although this occupational group has had a balanced market in recent years, projected job openings are expected to be substantially higher to job seekers, creating a shortage of workers over the 2022 – 2031 period.”
