Ontari's Workforce Shortage Coalition
In the coming years, Ontario faces a serious skills shortage as greater numbers of workers prepare to retire and fewer young people enter the workforce. The Conference Board of Canada estimates Ontario faces a shortage of more than 360,000 skilled employees by 2025, and that could further escalate to a shortage of more than 560,000 skilled employees by 2030.
