I hope you'll understand I'm not avoiding the question. I can't speak to the wisdom of investments in one area or the other, but maybe I could answer your question this way.
One could certainly look at, as I did in my opening statement, the overall trends in the labour market. In the summer of 2022, the labour market was extremely tight with historically high unemployment rates and historically high job vacancies. Since then, that tightness has eased somewhat. Employment growth has been steady but not quite in proportion to population growth. Vacancies have fallen 30%. It's an indication that labour shortages have eased. As you suggested in your question, one could look at trends in employment or vacancies by industry.
The question was asked about the construction sector. One could use the data to address the question, “Would it be wise to increase investment in the construction sector?” That's a valid question, and one could use Statistics Canada data to inform decisions around that question.
