Education & Employment

Saint John's Evolving Workforce: A look back and to the future

Since the early 1990’s Saint John hasexperienced a significant shift in itsworkforce.

Today, Saint John has one of the mosthighly educated workforces both in trades,diplomas and university degrees in NewBrunswick. More Saint Johners work in‘white collar’ environments than intraditional industrial workplaces. Morewomen have entered the workforce in theregion than men since 1995. The SaintJohn CMA boasts the highest level ofhousehold income in NB. There is anincreased level of bilingual workforceparticipants in the region and Saint John’scurrent workforce is less labour intensive. 

A combination of factors has lead tothis shift:

Diversification: The end of the frigateprogram saw Saint John’s unemploymentrate hit the double digits. Action wasrequired and a new economic developmentstrategy of diversification for the regionwas adopted.  Saint John's economiclandscape now boasts 5 main businesssectors: Tourism; InformationCommunications & Technology (ICT);Health and Life Sciences; Energy andAdvanced Manufacturing. Emergingsectors include: Financial Services andMining.

Technology: The surge in technology

since the early 90’s has forever changedwhere and how business is conducted. Asa result, Saint John employers havetransitioned to smarter ways of doingbusiness which requires a more educatedworkforce. Even traditional industrialtrades occupations require highlyspecialized computer know-how. The needfor high levels of physical manpower inSaint John’s manufacturing sector hasbeen reduced by increased investment intechnology and innovation. One of thefastest growing business sectors in theregion is Information Technology (IT);between 2001 and 2006 over 1500 peoplewere hired to work in this industry.

Access to Post-Secondary Education:From 1986 to 2006, the number ofuniversity degrees in the Saint John CMAincreased by 94% and a significant portionof this increase occurred after 1995, whenUNBSJ began granting degrees. The NewBrunswick Community College haspartnered with local companies to ensuretheir graduates address employer needs;94% of NBCC graduates are hired withina year of graduation.

Currently, employers are facing moremajor changes in Saint John’s labourforce; it’s beginning to shrink and age.The year 2011 is the first year that BabyBoomers, who represent the largest cohort

of workers in our province and indeedCanada, are eligible to retire. This situationcombined with increased globalcompetition for skilled workers, a stagnantnatural population growth rate in NB andlow immigration numbers will result inknowledge loss, and skills gaps.

In the next 10 years, the strength of theregional economy will be dependent onthe ability of local business to secure thepeople with the right skills at the righttime to ensure success.

Employers can avoid serious impact totheir business operations by:1. adopting progressive succession,

recruitment, and retention strategies;2. increasing investment in innovation,

education and technology, in order todo more with less;

3. branding their workplace as a‘destination of choice’ for talentedworkers; and

4. hiring more immigrants.In order to assist local employers adjust

to these workforce strategies, localbusiness support organizations such asthe Saint John Board of Trade and theWorkforce team of Enterprise Saint Johnoffer regular training opportunities andlinks to government programs.

Policy Update

• In July the Board submitted feedbackon the draft Municipal Plan to the PlanSJteam in support of the plan for thesustainable growth of Saint John andencouraging to ensure the draft planencourages development in specific areasthrough positive reinforcement rather thanhinder it.

• The Saint John Board of Trade sentletters to the Provincial and Federalpoliticians encouraging support for theproposed renovations to the Saint JohnTrade and Convention Centre. Therenovations will provide the opportunityto generate over $14 million in newrevenue on an annual basis which willhelp strengthen the Saint John economy.

• The Board of Trade was pleased withthe Provincial Government for listeningto small business following theannouncement the government was goingto postpone the scheduled increase in theminimum wage until April 2012.

This summer the Saint John Board ofTrade has focused on several issues ofimportance to our members. To view acopy of the submissions, visit the Boardof Trade’s website under Advocacy.

• The Board of Trade supported theForestry Industry by sending a letter toMinister Northrup supporting the ongoingpublic consultation and encouraging thegovernment to wait until the Crown LandsTask Forces have completed their reportsbefore enacting any new allocations orregulations.

• The Board supported IrvingShipbuilding’s bid for one of two contractsin the National ShipbuildingProcurement Strategy in a news releasein June. There is potential benefit fromthis multi-million dollar project to NewBrunswick and Saint John companiesthrough the already existing supply chainnetwork in the region.

“Every day is a school day,” acolleague of mine used to tell me,suggesting that there is somethingto learn every day, no matter whatthe circumstance. And that if weapproach our job with this mindset,not only we will be more effectiveat what we do, we also will growour skills.

Needless to say, the world ofInformation Technology isconstantly changing, and the paceof change is ever increasing. Ifone’s skills aren’t current, itbecomes challenging to find work.It’s not only “what knowledge andexpertise is needed today” but also“what will the market demandtomorrow?” In the world of ITconsulting, trying to balance projectcommitments with personaldevelopment seems an impossibletask. At Ambir, training and skillsimprovement is a must, and is akey component of each Ambirite’sannual performance review. Wework continuously to supportpersonal growth to align not onlywith what customers need but alsowhere each Ambirite wants to taketheir career.

In the end, personal growth is apersonal responsibility, but workingcollaboratively to “sharpen thesaw” becomes a win-win-win, forAmbirities, Ambir, and ourcustomers.

Layoffs Threaten OurNext Generation of Leaders

In recent months, we’ve seen severalAtlantic Canadian companies announcelayoffs. Though they happen with somefrequency, these particular layoffs raisedeyebrows. It wasn’t just the timing, comingin the wake of reports we have finallyemerged from a prolonged recession.  It’smore the unprecedented nature of thelayoffs that drew attention.

Traditionally, layoffs have focused onculling under-performers, duplication inpositions and individuals near retirement.This time, companies are cutting some oftheir best employees.  In some cases, it’sthe economics of the market that arespurring these decisions. In others, it’s theeconomics of the individual businesses:they’re simply not competitive.

Whatever the reason, these layoffs havebecome a topic of concern in myconversations with regional businessleaders, and for good reason. We have amarketplace congested with high-potentialavailable talent, but few positions to matchtheir skills. Unless we create moreopportunities, we will lose them, andpotentially our next generation of businessleaders, to more lucrative markets.

It’s not just homegrown talent lookingelsewhere for opportunities. AtlanticCanada has lagged the rest of the countryin attracting immigrants and internationalstudents. Given the choice of staying andtaking a lesser role in the workforce, ormoving to a more active market such asToronto or even Winnipeg, they opt torelocate. 

You might expect demographic shiftsto alleviate some market congestion asmore boomers begin retiring. Yetcompanies are choosing to eliminatepositions to economize instead of savingthem for high-potential talent. Meanwhile,other companies are cutting leadershipdevelopment programs from their budgetsto save money. The result? We are losingskilled labour and leadership candidates.And the question on everyone’s mind ishow do we reverse this trend?

One approach is to encourage ourexisting businesses to expand, taking onmore risk and new markets. Traditionally,some of our best companies have focusedsolely on serving this region, and havedone well enough such that they havesurvived for generations, and have beenprofitable. In some cases, this local focuswas born of limited resources. In others,it reflects a tendency as a region to bemodest in our goals, and our abilities – abelief that being an Atlantic Canadiansuccess story is sufficient. Still, in othercases, it may be the complexities or hurdlesinvolved in growth or exporting a productto national or international markets thathave held us back.

Yet times have changed. The evolutionof business and technology has been suchthat many barriers to expansion andexporting have all but disappeared.Meanwhile, more companies are cominginto our region, competing for shares ina market that is relatively small in size,making it much harder for AtlanticCanadians corporations to thrive bymaintaining a local focus. If our companiesdon’t grow, if they don’t look to othermarkets for clients, or as potential satelliteoffices, they may perish.

Another suggestion gaining traction isto grant Canadian citizenship to post-secondary international students who earntheir degrees here. This could have severalbenefits. For one, it would help us addressthe challenges of an aging demographic.It could motivate existing entrepreneursto expand, just to accommodate this newtalent pool. And we could draw on it toattract new industries to our region, furthereasing congestion in our marketplace.  Itcould drive those young minds to take anentrepreneurial leap into our AtlanticEconomy.

There are many other initiatives toconsider, such as renewed investment inskills development for our youngemployees, so we cultivate and retain anew generation of leaders. Regardless,the key is to encourage existing and newbusinesses to take risks and be moreentrepreneurial. As our companies expand,so will our economy, and the number oflucrative jobs we can offer.  Ultimately itmeans we will be well positioned to holdon to the talented youth of today, and forgethe leaders of tomorrow.
