BMO: Let's Create 4,000 Jobs Together in Sudbury by 2016
BMO releases report on outlook for economy, housing and labour market in Sudbury - Sudbury's unemployment rate expected to drop to 6 per cent by 2016; back to pre-recession lows - Strong commodity demand and industry expansion will generate growth in mining sector - Sudbury Chamber of Commerce: City is on the Move - BMO offering support to Canadian businesses by making $10 billion in credit available over next three years
(firmenpresse) - SUDBURY, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 05/31/12 -- The next four years will bring 4,000 new jobs to Sudbury, according to a new report released today by BMO Capital Markets Economics.
The report on Sudbury is the latest in a series of economic and business overviews for various cities across Canada that will be published by BMO throughout the year.
"BMO's latest economic snapshot on Greater Sudbury shows us that our economy is still going strong and will for the next few years to come," stated Mayor Marianne Matichuk. "With an estimated 4,000 new jobs projected by the end of 2016, this is great news for our residents."
"Businesses in Sudbury are driving forward with plans to invest in their operations, in new equipment, in expansion and in hiring people," said Steve DeMarco, Commercial Banking Area Manager, Central Northern Ontario District, BMO Bank of Montreal. "They are looking for capital to expand and create jobs; they are looking for a degree of certainty that funds will be available when they need them. I believe that BMO's commitment to make $10 billion in credit available for businesses in Canada over the next few years can make a big difference to companies looking to invest across the region. My roots run deep in Greater Sudbury and I am excited for what lies ahead."
"BMO's economic report on Greater Sudbury serves as confirmation to what many in our community are seeing - a city that's on the move," said Debbi Nicholson, President and CEO, Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce. "Our resource-based industries and their supply and services sector are leading this boom; the ripple effect of this economic activity is already being felt and will continue to have a positive impact on our economy. We anticipate a rosy outlook for several years to come."
"Employment in Sudbury has recouped all of the declines suffered during the recession," said Robert Kavcic, Economist, BMO Capital Markets. "The city's small labour pool makes statistics like the jobless rate volatile, but the underlying trend is clearly improving. Even at 7.2 per cent, Sudbury's jobless rate remains below that for all of Ontario, a feat recently achieved in 2007, and a stark turnaround from about 15 years of a consistently-high local unemployment rate. Surging commodity prices and their positive impact on mining have been a major driver of the relative improvement. Looking out over the medium term, Sudbury's unemployment rate should drift down toward 6 per cent by 2016, about half a percentage point below the Ontario average and back near the pre-recession lows."
