The Labour Market Group reports that there were 518 job postings recorded for Nipissing district in the month of November.
"This is a significant decrease of 14.4 per cent from the previous month's figure of 605 postings," says the report.
"This month-over-month drop is likely attributed to a combination of seasonal trending and indications of an upcoming recession."
The November 2022 figure is also significantly below; (25.5%) the November 2021 value of 695 job postings.
"This year-to-year drop further supports a downturn in the local labour market and again possibly a sign of a recession beginning."
More than 250 unique employers posted jobs in November which is notably below the 2021 figure for the same month of 312.
The top job posters were:
- North Bay Regional Health Centre
- Canadore College
- Near North District School Board
- Ontario Northland
- Cascades Casino
The top industry postings are for Registered Nurses and Personal Support Workers, a further indication of the troubled healthcare field. That was followed by jobs in the retail trade.
Full-time accounts for 67 per cent of the jobs posted.
