Sector Spotlights

Ottawa Employment Hub has prepared Sector Spotlights for Ottawa’s top 13 sectors in 2019 (based on number of jobs in 2018). These reports pull data from two key sources:

• EMSI Analyst – Harmonizes labour market data from a variety of Statistics Canada sources, combining them into one master dataset so that the strengths of each compensate for weaknesses of others.
• Vicinity Jobs – Scans online job postings and profiles of online job seekers on commonly used job boards and corporate websites to compile data on local labour supply and demand.

Two additional sector spotlight reports – NAICS 51 and NAICS 71 – have also been produced in response to community demand.
