Jobs in Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island is Canada’s smallest province, and most of its jobs are in Charlottetown and Summerside. Agriculture, fishing, tourism, health care, retail and the public service employ the most people, alongside smaller aerospace and bioscience employers.

Seasonality is the key fact about working on the Island. Farms, fish plants, restaurants, golf courses and accommodations hire heavily from late spring through early fall, and many workers combine a seasonal job with other work in winter. Year-round openings are most common in health care, government, education and the trades. Because communities are small, employers often value reliability and local references as much as formal credentials. If you want work for the summer, look at seasonal jobs and hospitality jobs.
