Labour Shortages
Labour Shortages
The hotel and lodging sector is a strong and vibrant industry, currently experiencing record highs and is forecasting significant growth. The Federal Government continues to have a real focus on getting Canada’s available workers out of unemployment and into meaningful jobs – and hotels have front-line positions open.
- 2 of every 3 of accommodation businesses see labour issues as a significant business impediment.
- Rooms going unsold, business is being turned away, and expansion plans are being curtailed.
- Operations are scaled back or doors open with insufficient staff
- 33% growth in available full-time jobs supported through growing consumer demand for accommodation services by 2035
- If the labour shortage is not addressed, the accommodation industry could experience a labour shortfall of 10,000 by 2035
