One of the things we've done in this publication, or in the series of slides that are available to you, is do the same kinds of slides by province. So you can see that while there are employment increases for tradespeople in Alberta, and a little more in Alberta than in most other provinces, the rate of growth for people with university and college degrees is far more rapid.
The Alberta economy is creating jobs for everyone. It's a very hot economy. If you look across and if you look at either the proportional change or even the change in numbers of people, that's why these data are important. It's not just jobs for tradespeople. There are jobs for them. As my colleagues would say, in looking at the data it gives us the numbers of people who got the jobs, not the number of people who would have had jobs if there had been more of them. So that's a bit of a concern.
But when I look at the data underneath that and look at wage rates and the other people who are then filling those jobs, I don't see the kind of dire statistic that we hear about around shortages in some of the occupations, so I'm trying to understand some of that data myself.
