Jobs in Newfoundland and Labrador
Most jobs in Newfoundland and Labrador are on the Avalon Peninsula around St. John’s, with regional centres in Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor and, in Labrador, Happy Valley-Goose Bay and Labrador City. Health care, retail, the public service, offshore oil, mining and the fishery are the largest employers.
Work here is more seasonal than in most provinces. Fish plants, tourism operators and construction crews hire for the warmer months, and many offshore and mining jobs run on rotations of several weeks on and several weeks off. Labrador’s iron ore mines and hydro projects recruit tradespeople and operators from across the island. Skilled trades and nursing are in steady demand.
