Workforce Characteristics

Over half of the workforce in the City and County of Lethbridge is employed by the service and trade sectors. The remainder is spread between public sector, manufacturing, construction, transportation, agri-food and finance/insurance/real estate.

Lethbridge College provides training to our manufacturing and support services, ensuring a good supply of skilled and semi-skilled labour for this industry. Local employers continue to cite the trainability, flexibility and work ethic of the local workforce as one of the major advantages of this region.

Traditionally our region has had some of the lowest unemployment rates in the province and the nation.
