4.52 Community Labour Market Information on the Internet

The Internet can provide you with some good community labour market information if you know where to look.

Service Canada is the place to start

Service Canada has regional centres all around the province, with each centre managing its own website. The Service Canada BC/Yukon site has links to all the HRDC centres around the province. Many of the centres put local labour market information online. They also provide links to other local resources that can help you learn about the community.

BC WorkInfoNet Community & Regional Information

BCWIN offers many links to BC Communities. Check out the links on the Communities / Regions page.
