1 | The Great Recession
Global economy in throes of worst economic storm in the century
Jobs in jeopardy
Slow, faltering recovery
Governments in record debt
The Gallup World Poll was started in
2005, covers virtually every demographic
and socioeconomic group in every
country in the world, and will go on for
100 years.
Biggest discovery so far:
More than anything else,
the whole world wants
a good job!
The countries with enough cities that pull together to ensure their
citizens have good jobs and their employers have engaged employees
will be the winners in The Coming Jobs War.
2 | Aging Population
Declining birth rate since 1967
Later marriage & fewer children
Boomers retiring (1947-65 in 2012)
Growing concerns: dependency ratio
Immigration cannot offset natural decline

Rick Miner, 2012, Jobs of the Future: Options and Opportunities
• Vast majority of 2031 work force has been born • Immigration – 280,000 • Under-represented - poor, aboriginals, women, disabled
3 | Upskilling of Jobs
Skills Shortages Agriculture: 90,000 additional workers required by 2013 Construction: 219,000 retiring workers 2012 – 2020 ECO Canada: 100,483 environmental workers in the next 10 years to replace
retiring workers Electricity: 45,000 new skilled workers required by 2016 (almost half of the
existing workforce) Food Processing: 13% (32,500) of workers in this industry will be retiring by 2115.
At least 21,500 needed in the period Information & Communications Technology: 106,000 in the next 5 years Mining: About 81,000 needed in the next decade Petroleum: At least 15,000 new workers over the next four years (2012 - 2015) Printing: 41% of the industry’s labour force is nearing, or has passed, the age of
early retirement Supply Chain: 27,000 current vacancies , with an additional need for
60,000employees annually Tourism: 114,000 unfilled jobs in 2020 and by 2030, 10.7% of labour demand
(228,000 jobs) could go unfilled Trucking: 2012-2017; projected workforce growth will be 199,800

Talent Pipeline
PATHWAYS
Pipeline Issues
National HS graduation rate 79%
47% register immediately for post-secondary programs
25% of post-secondary students dropout by the end of the first year. A similar percent change programs or majors
50% of students with a bachelor’s degree owe over $20,000.
Youth Employment: 80% find employment (14%+ unemployed)
50% “mal-employed” (under-employed, poor fit, hate work,…)
Transition from high school to full-time work now takes 8 years on average
(King, 2009, Who Doesn’t Go To Post-Secondary Education?)
(Miner, 2010, People Without Jobs, Jobs Without People)
(Education Indicators 2011, Statistics Canada & Council of Ministers of Education Canada)
Mismatch of Knowledge and Skills
• Need for post-secondary education and training
– On the job, apprentice, certificate, diploma, degree, etc.
• STEM increases employability
– Science, technology, engineering and mathematics
• Ontario Skills Passport, 21st Century Skills, Employability Skills
“But what if Canadian universities were the root cause of the skills gap,
rather than the solution? There’s considerable evidence to support this
conclusion.”
21 Century Skills
• Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship
• Critical Thinking
• Collaboration
• Communication
• Character
• Culture and Ethical Citizenship
• Computer and Digital Technologies – From C21 Canadians for 21st Century Learning & Innovation
• Plus: Life and Career Skills
SOLUTION
To avoid being victims of the perfect storm,
communities must equip citizens with the knowledge,
skills, attitudes, and tools to prosper in 21st century
careers.
A “whole-community” commitment to
career navigation and workforce
development is required.
