In 2020, 6,000 more workers within the Stratford-Bruce Peninsula Economic Region left the workforce compared to 2019. These are persons who left the workforce and are not actively looking for work. This leaves Grey Bruce in a critical labour shortage.

The Four County Labour Market Planning Board would like to evaluate the extent and causes of this worker retreat.

If you or someone you know has left the workforce please encourage them to complete the survey. This survey consists of 14 questions and should take about 5 minutes to complete. Responses are completely anonymous and confidential. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/retreatedworkers
