Immigration Pathways into Construction<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Over the last decade, and in particular over the past five years, New Brunswick has experienced record-setting population growth after years of decline and stagnation. In 2021 the population of New Brunswick grew faster than any other time on record, a trend that has continued into 2022 and 2023.<\/p>\n
To support our growing population, we\u2019ll need to accelerate building everything from schools to homes to wastewater and commercial space. At the center of this building is the construction workforce.<\/p>\n
According to labour force data, around 4.2 per cent of construction jobs are currently unfilled. Furthermore, labour force projections estimate there will be 8,400 retirements and thousands of new jobs created due to increased demand in the construction workforce between now and 2032.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
