About the Project

ECO Canada is conducting an Employer Labour Demand study to measure demand for environmental workers in Canada.  The overall objective of this Sector Study is to examine the current and future labour requirements and characteristics of environmental employment.

The study is informed by survey responses from human resource managers/hiring managers at a stratified sample of firms throughout Canada using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code. The survey will also measure environmental employment by the environmental occupational profiles (NOS) defined by ECO Canada (refer National Occupational Standards report).
