Job outlook

Good (4 of 5) for 2025-2027, from Job Bank’s 3-year outlook for Nunavut.

The employment outlook is good for the 2025 to 2027 period due to growth and major construction projects like the new air terminal in Rankin Inlet and the Nunavut Inuit Heritage Centre in Iqaluit. A shortage of skilled tradespeople may lead to contractors bringing in workers from southern Canada. Outlook data
