Housing shortages and investments in new and affordable housing are expected to sustain demand for these positions over the forecast period. As interest rates continue to fall, residential investment should strengthen resulting in increased housing starts in the province over the next few years. Population growth has been, and continues to be, a key economic driver supporting residential building activity in the province. The announcement by the federal government to reduce immigration targets will mean a slowdown in population growth over the forecast period which should in turn help alleviate some pressure on the Island's housing market.


The prospect for employment in this occupation is good as there continues to be a shortage of workers and unfilled vacancies in the province due to strong gains in both residential and non-residential investment. The demand for workers in this occupation is expected to remain favourable driven by continued housing development to support population growth, as well as maintenance, renovation, and repair work.
