Job postings were down in Nipissing in November.
The Labour Market Group reports 387 job postings were recorded that month.
“While this figure represents a significant decrease in month-over-month (-22.4%,- 112) comparisons, it is a slight decrease in year-over-year (-4.4%,-20) comparisons,” states the LMG November Jobs Report. “Therefore, the decrease in month-over-month numbers is not a huge concern and can be attributed to annual seasonal changes.”
The top five employers posting jobs include:
- North Bay Regional Health Centre
- Near North District School Board
- Ontario Northland
- Conseil Scolaire Catholique Franco-Nord
- Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board
Health Care & Social Assistance was the top hiring industry with over a quarter (26.1%) of the job postings.
Educational Services was next at 19.1%.
Retail Trade (13.2%) rounds out the top three.
