Employment Outlook

A growing and ageing population will require more health services, which will result in an increased demand for health care support workers. Employment opportunities will be high throughout the province, especially in nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and privately run institutions. Strong demand for resident care aides is contributing to higher salaries and increased opportunities to work in diverse environments.
