Camera Operator

As job openings and job seekers are projected to be at relatively similar levels  in Canada through 2028, the balance between labour supply and demand seen in recent years is expected to continue for the projection period.

Creative Director

Labour demand and labour supply are expected to be broadly in line for this occupation group in Canada through 2028, with   job openings and job seekers  projected to be at relatively similar levels.

Curriculum Developer – Electronic Learning

The employment outlook will be good for this occupation group in Ontario with a moderate number of new positions expected and several positions due to retirements. There are a small number of unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation. The four main sectors for employment with this occupation group include  elementary and secondary schools, universities, provincial administration and colleges.

Film Producer

We expect that the labour supply and demand this occupation group will be balanced in Canada through 2028. About half of job openings are expected from retirements. New jobs are expected to account for almost a third of the demand. Additionally, the increased popularity of watching video on mobile devices will lead to growth in the Canadian online entertainment media industries, and the growth in the motion picture industry, notably from the increased production of American movies in Canada, will further strengthen demand in occupation group.

Graphic Designer

This occupational group is expected to face labour shortage conditions in Canada through 2028. Employment growth will lead to a moderate number of new positions due to greater use of digital applications by businesses to expand market reach  for e-commerce and e-learning purposes or to meet daily operational needs, an increase in digital marketing spending as businesses strengthen their online presence especially as a result of the pandemic, a significant need for customer-friendly interfaces resulting in a favourable need for user experience (UX) designers, and key technology trends related to 3D printing and virtual and augmented reality. Spending in the Out of Home (OOH) advertising segment which includes billboards, was negatively impacted by the pandemic, but is expected to improve as restrictions ease and business and consumer activities resume.
