InfoPEI: Labour Market: "Labour Market
The labour market in PEI has become, along with our overall economy, more dynamic and diverse in the past decade. The primary industries of farming, fishing and forestry continue to be prominent features in the PEI economic landscape. But changes are happening which have added new colours to the economic pallet of green forests and fields and blue bays and seas. As a result, the labour force and the number of persons employed in PEI has increased steadily, as the Island economy has diversified and grown, with job creation in a variety of sectors. Some examples: in goods production, employment is found in construction, food processing, and manufacturing in industries such as aerospace and other technologically-intensive businesses. In the service sectors, job opportunities are found in information technology, health care, education and research, financial services, retailing, and in various business and government management and support activities."
