"Our industries will need to be prepared to face a labour shortage more severe than what we experienced in 2007."

about 102,300 positions would open in a high-price scenario, up from 57,850 positions in 2009.

Alberta ? Low-price scenario: 33,000 net hires- High oil, low natural gas price scenario: 50,800 net hires- High-price scenario: 102,300 net hires- 2009 estimated workforce: 57,850

major driver in the forecast is Canada's aging workforce, about 30 per cent of which will retire over the next decade.

"Even in the worst scenario, when energy prices and industry activity are low, we will need to hire at least 39,000 workers to replace those who are retiring," Knight said. "If industry expands in a highprice scenario, we will need to find 130,000 workers to fill new positions."

The oilpatch already is seeing shortages in skill sets such as geology, engineering and geophysical expertise, as well as on-the-ground field workers.

Access to labour and skills determine the unit of production of the petroleum industry."

services sector may need to hire as many as 72,000 workers over the next 10 years, he said. Jones noted it takes the average rig worker about 10 years to accumulate enough skills and experience to become a rig manager.

For Flint Energy Services Ltd., the pinch is already on. The company has brought in 20 Filipino insulators this year. It has authority from the federal government to bring in 60 more foreign workers, and expects to apply for more later this year.

"Everybody's got a bit of a guess at all of this, but the numbers are like nothing we've seen before," said international recruitment lead Brent Guthrie. "Whereas Flint was bringing in hundreds in 2008, an expectation of going to 1,000 is not unheard of going forward ... The local market gets burned out quite quickly on these major projects, and then everybody's scrambling."

PCL Industrial Contractors Inc., the arm of the construction giant heavily involved in building the oil sands, hit 350 temporary foreign workers in the last boom. Today it has little more than a dozen, but is laying plans for a spree starting early next year that far outstrips the past.

"We're looking at the 1,000-person mark for a prolonged period, probably peaking in late 2012," said Gary Truhn, director of construction and labour relations. "We think there's some major projects that are going to be there for quite a while."

The hiring will begin months before, however. Depending on the country of origin, it can take between four and six months to gain government approval to bring in a foreign worker. That's why companies are working now to start the process.

In the first four months of this year, Alberta companies applied to bring in 9,910 temporary foreign workers, according to Human Resources and Skills Development Canada.

Peter Veress, president of immigration consultants Vermax Group Inc., recently set up a new training centre in Saltillo, Mexico. In early May, it welcomed its first group of workers to a course designed to impart safety, language and other skills to pipe-fitters and welders before they head north. "Companies are a little more proactive this time around. They don't want to get caught like they did last time around."

It's not cheap, though. Between paperwork, training and travel, it can easily cost $10,000 to bring in a temporary foreign worker.

in Alberta, hiring can be uncertain. Workers in certified trades have a year to pass Red Seal exams. If they can't, they must go back home.

On the East Coast, where many trade and construction workers remain unemployed, the mention of overseas hiring rankles.

"We have probably 150 guys on the out-of-work list," said Ian MacIsaac, business representative for local 1178 of the Nova Scotia & PEI Regional Council of Carpenters, Millwrights & Allied Workers, which has 240 members.

Alberta's government is starting to feel the same way. It recently released a strategy to keep older workers in the labour pool. Thomas Lukaszuk, Minister of Employment and Immigration, has called on Ottawa to shrink employment insurance eligibility in other provinces, in hopes of compelling workers from elsewhere in Canada to come to Alberta. He also wants authority for the province to nominate more foreign workers to become permanent residents. "We will be severely short on workers, not [just] the next few years but the next few decades," he said.

In a January survey of city businesses by the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce, 65 per cent said economic conditions were better than a year ago, said Rick Hersack, the chamber's chief economist.

"Businesses are telling us that we're back up into a growth mode and we're concerned it might be going into another boom -the concern mainly being the strain on labour availability," Hersack said

In the goods-producing sector, a higher proportion -80 per cent -called labour supply a problem, while 56 per cent expected a shortage in one to three years.

In the service sector, 54 per cent said labour availability was a problem and 44 per cent anticipated a shortage

"With the ramp-up in the energy sector, that affects essentially all of Alberta," Hersack said. "We also asked our members about their hiring intentions and they'll well exceed the availability of labour force.

Kavcic said labour shortages will push wages up.

as wages rose, migration of labour from East to West would also rise.

"Three areas that clients and business owners remain cautious on are labour force, what's going to happen with commodity prices and the weather," Hogg said.

"Businesses all remember what happened in Alberta in 2005 with the difficulty and expense of hiring employees."

A report released by the Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canada Tuesday also warned a labour force of about 130,000 workers will be needed to fill new jobs in the oilpatch and keep pace with retirements.

Many of the Baby Boomer generation are retiring which will create a “massive exodus” of workers. That will create a void in not only numbers but experience in the workforce. The natural population growth is not replacing that exodus. And the retirees will force increased demand for various services from coffee to medical care.

Statistics Canada reported that the province’s unemployment rate dipped to 5.4 per cent for the month, down from 5.9 per cent in April. This rate was the third lowest in the country behind Saskatchewan’s 5.0 per cent and Manitoba’s 5.3 per cent. It was also down from 6.7 per cent in May 2010.

short-term employment forecast tool to identify potential imbalances in the labour market in the near future. Sixteen occupations were listed as having a significant likelihood of shortages in the next three years.

They include retail trade managers; restaurant and food service managers; mechanical engineers; petroleum engineers; computer programmers and interactive media developers; web designers and developers; general practitioners and family physicians; registered nurses; retail trade supervisors; food service supervisors; technical sales specialists, wholesale trade; hairstylists and barbers; estheticians, electrologists and related occupations; construction millwrights and individual mechanics (except textile); heavy-duty equipment mechanics; and motor vehicle body repairers.

In Alberta, full-time employment increased by 18,200 while part-time employment decreased by 9,600 from April to May 2011.

The following industries had the most employment increases in May from the previous month in the province: Construction, 8,600; Health Care and Social Assistance, 6,300; and Information, Culture and Recreation, 5,300.

Knightsbridge Human Capital Solutions has established an executive search Calgary-based practice in Alberta to help clients respond to the emerging talent crisis which some reports say will result in a labour shortfall of 77,000 workers over the next 10 years

“From a human capital perspective, this is a critical time for Alberta,” said Mark Hopkins, managing partner. “We believe that companies must effectively manage the leadership gap being created as an aging workforce retires in ever-increasing numbers. At the same time, we are seeing rapidly increasing activity levels, increased technical and commercial demands, and a significant shortage of specialist technical skills.”
