I’ve noticed that several companies in the Province are advertising for jobs, ranging from translators to e-learning project managers.
Here are some companies currently advertising full-time and contract positions:

I guess the economy is doing well.
From where I sit, it looks as if Canada is leading the online learning industry. So many of the leading lights appear to be based there. Perhaps it’s an indication of the health of that industry rather than the economy as a whole. Just a thought…
You’re probably right, Karyn, though I’m not sure of how much of a lead we really have:

The purchase of Element K by India’s NIIT, who previously purchased Chicago-based Cognitive Arts, makes all of New Brunswick seem like pretty small potatoes. This is especially true if the NB companies’ business models are similar to any of these three companies. Given our population of 740,000, which has declined since the last census, businesses requiring labour growth cannot scale very well.

Agreed. And interestingly the Element K purchase slipped right under the radar (exept on OlDaily ;) ). We have to focus on knowledge industries, not labour-based in dustries. Scaling will only come with population growth, which will not happen until we have a solid techno-industrial infrastructure.
Stephen; that seems to be a difficult message to get through to politicians, bureaucrats, and multi-national corporations. The former want to create jobs for the sake of jobs (wrong measurable) while the latter only smell tax incentives and temporarily cheap labour.
