2014Employment Survey Results

2014 Employment Survey Results1Overview

On behalf of Regional Council, I am pleased to present the results of the 2014 Employment Survey. This survey provides a key benchmark for the Region’s economic health, supporting policy and decision making, and forecasting and planning infrastructure and services for the residents and businesses in Halton Region.

The success of the Employment Survey depends on the assistance and cooperation of the Region’s business community and I would like to thank all participating organizations for their continued interest and support. Attracting and retaining jobs is a top priority for Halton Region. We are committed to providing the support and resources to help businesses get established and expand in the region and I am pleased to report that through our work with staff, Regional Council and our Local Municipalities we continue to deliver impressive results.

Strong business investment in the region helped Halton achieve an average unemployment rate of 4.4 per cent in 2014, significantly lower than the rest of Ontario. Investment and expansion announcements from the Federal and Provincial governments as well as Ford Motor Company, Westbury International, MTB Transit, RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, Roxul and many others made significant contributions to growth in the Region injecting over $1.5 billion dollars into the local economy and creating more than 8,200 net new jobs.

Halton is an economic hotspot and businesses are choosing to locate here because the region offers the right mix of low taxes, infrastructure, proximity to market, talent availability and a high quality of life. Halton also remains a cost-competitive location within the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area for new industrial and office development, so we can anticipate more businesses coming to the area.

By continuing to plan for today and tomorrow, Halton Region will continue to support its vibrant business community. I invite you to read on to learn more about employment in Halton and its four Local Municipalities. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us by dialling 311, or by emailing me at [email protected]. You can also find me on Twitter @garycarrhalton, LinkedIn or Facebook.

Survey results: Highlights

Halton is among the fastest growing regions in Canada. Strong population growth, a highly-skilled labour force, and central access to vital transportation and goods movement corridors have contributed to Halton’s evolution into a major employment area and a key market for investment attraction in Ontario.

To remain informed of the changes and trends in its employment, Halton conducts an annual Employment Survey that gathers key employment and business information. Prepared jointly by Halton Region’s Planning Services and Economic Development divisions, this report presents the findings of the 2014 Employment Survey with a focus on business locations, characteristics and industries.

Introduction

The annual Halton Employment Survey is a comprehensive door-to-door business survey that captures employment and land-use information from all visible places of work.

The information collected via this survey is accurate as of the date collected. The information presented in this report may not correlate to other business surveys, including Canadian Business Patterns or surveys conducted by Chambers of Commerce due to differences in survey methodology. This report is based on responses received from businesses surveyed in 2014.

Data collection primarily occurs through face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews and questionnaire drop-offs. Some businesses are unable to participate in the survey or answer all questions (which causes response rates to vary by topic).

As the survey evolves, improvements are constantly being made to accurately gather employment information. For a summary of businesses surveyed, please refer to page 25.
