Compared to other occupations, this is not a significant occupation in this region.
In Ontario, employment prospects for crane operators are expected to be average over the period 2012-2013. This is a smaller skilled trade in Ontario; it had a labour force of about 5,400 at the time of the 2006 Census. Prospects in this trade depend largely on economic conditions in the two main industries in which employment is concentrated - manufacturing and construction. Manufacturing-based opportunities have strengthened over the last year, with some employment recovery in this sector. Demand in the construction sector has been fairly strong over the last few years with greater opportunities in non-residential construction.
Many crane operators are members of the International Union of Operating Engineers and find work opportunities through their membership.
