Summary:The occupations facing shortages of workers in the future range from welding, auto mechanics and a wide range of industrial technologies to management, engineering, pharmacy and, of course, computer science. Employment will grow at 1.8 per cent a year from 1995 to 2000, Roth says, compared to just 0.3 per cent a year from 1989 to 1995. But from 1985 to 1990, employment grew at 2.4 per cent a year. Over-all, Canada is forecast to add about 1.3 million new jobs between 1995 and the year 2000, with 92 per cent of those jobs requiring at least a high school diploma and about half requiring a community college diploma or university degree.
