Know your community to grow your community.
North Superior Workforce Planning Board – Your Local Employment Planning Council and Northern Policy Institute have teamed up to provide communities with greater access to labour market information at the very local level.
The Community Labour Market Series Report – Schreiber by Amandine Martel and José-Karl Noiseux, provides local labour market indicators to assist leaders and organizations in the decision-making process. The goal of this report is to provide community members in Schreiber with a better understanding of what is happening in their community. It does not, however attempt to explain the reasons behind the trends, spikes or troughs in the provided data.
“This information is intended as a starting point for an evidence-based conversation about why certain changes are occurring,” Madge Richardson, Executive Director, North Superior Workforce Planning Board – Your Local Employment Planning Council. “This report is just a first step. It is now up to community members to explore, explain and address the challenges and opportunities Schreiber is experiencing.”
The report includes information on ten key indicators:
- Employers
- Employment by Industry
- Employment by Occupation
- Local Knowledge
- Population and Demographics
- Migration
- Education, Literacy, Skills & Training
- Labour Force Participation
- Wages
- Income
“NPI is extremely pleased to partner with NSWPB in delivering truly local labour market information to the communities covered by the CLMRs,” said Charles Cirtwill, President & CEO, Northern Policy Institute. “We look forward to continuing that partnership with Community Accounts that will cover the entire north.”
This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario.
