Sector Spotlights

Ottawa Employment Hub has prepared Sector Spotlights for Ottawa’s top sectors (based on number of jobs). 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 demand.

The report provides a definition of the sector and overview of its structure, shows how they stack up against Ottawa’s other top sectors, and takes a closer look at employment, self-employment, business and employer counts, and online supply and demand data. It also summarizes and provides links to relevant news stories from the past year.
