Occupation Projection for Canada
Over the 2008-2010 period, this occupation saw weak employment growth and an increase in the unemployment rate. However, the unemployment rate remained sufficiently low to indicate that the number of job seekers was sufficient to fill all job openings.
Over the 2011-2020 period, an occupation will be in excess demand (a shortage of workers) if the projected number of job openings is significantly greater than the projected number of job seekers. An occupation will be in excess supply (a surplus of workers) if the projected number of job openings is smaller than the projected number of job seekers. For Creative And Performing Artists, over the 2011-2020 period, job openings (arising from expansion demand and replacement demand) are expected to total 44,789 and 36,947 job seekers (arising from school leavers, immigration and mobility) are expected to be available to fill the job openings.
Based on projections and considering the recent balance between the labour supply and demand in this occupation, it is expected that the number of job seekers will be sufficient to fill the job openings over the 2011-2020 period. The annual difference between supply and demand is very small, 0.8% of jobs in 2010. Retirements will create the majority of job openings, accounting for nearly 62 percent of labour market needs. In fact, since the workforce is aging, there will a significant increase in the number of retirements as compared to the 2001-2010 period. Job growth will also be relatively high. With regard to the labour supply, the vast majority of job seekers will be school leavers, although it is expected that their numbers will decrease slightly over the coming years.
