B.C.'s summer job market is tough. Here's how to crack it
A morning after posting openings for several seasonal jobs, Jenn Spry had 70 resumés in her inbox. 'That's definitely more than other years,' said the agritourism manager at Taves Family Farms, which runs the Applebarn in Abbotsford. The farm will sift through the applications in the coming days before hiring for their mid-August sunflower festival and fall farm attractions. Amid a tough job market, many B.C. youth are struggling to find summer employment. Often seen as a rite of passage, jobs like slinging burgers or leading camp singalongs give teens spending money and allow them to save for college.

But experts say B.C. youth are at risk of losing more than money if they can't find work. Summer jobs also provide a master class in soft skills, like communication, time management and problem solving, with lasting impacts. 'The data overwhelmingly suggests that it is good for youth to work,' said Marjan Houshmand, a business professor at the University of Hawaii who grew up in Vancouver. A Statistics Canada labour force survey released this week found that in May, the unemployment rate among students ages 15 to 24 was 20.1 per cent, an increase of 3.2 per cent from May 2024. The rate has been trending upward since May 2022, when it was 11.4 per cent. The survey noted that May job numbers provide 'the first indicator of the summer job market, especially for older youth, as high-school students are still attending classes.' The tough market is reflected in postings as well. A report by job website found that as of May, summer job postings across Canada were down 22 per cent from a year earlier, with a drop in demand for summer camp counsellors, painters and lifeguards. The summer job market is connected to the state of the Canadian job market and the economy as a whole, said Brendon Bernard, senior economist at Indeed , noting that it would be odd for youth employment opportunities to outstrip general market trends. But what is notable, he said, is the quick deterioration of the summer job market over the last two years, from a strong market to one where it's tough to find a job. Bernard said the dip in hiring is compounded by 'surging' population growth over the same period, with particular growth in the youth population, including foreign students and some temporary foreign workers. 'We're seeing a greater share of youth who have never had a job,' he said. Although concerning at face value, that also hints at other worries in the labour market, as people may not be moving up the job ladder as quickly. 'When employment conditions are weaker, a traffic jam develops, and there are fewer opportunities for new entries to fill the ranks,' said Bernard, whose first job was frying chicken wings at a neighbourhood sports bar. Houshmand said summer jobs are often 'not glamorous,' but they can open doors and provide more than financial benefits. That's particularly true when teens work in a family business, where they might be given more responsibility. 'They learn about what it means to run a business by experiencing it firsthand,' she said. 'They might start to develop a different relationship with their parents and an understanding of what their family is working toward.' Houshmand, whose first job was babysitting, was one of several experts who pointed young job-seekers to B.C.'s many small businesses to look for opportunities. Spry said Taves Family Farms takes its role as a 'first-time employer' seriously: 'We know kids need that shot.' The farm puts personality and attitude above experience as they employ a team of about 60 people for the fall agritourism season, holding group interviews where prospective employees play games and run an obstacle course. 'We just want to know who they are,' said Spry, adding they aren't looking for the loudest people, but those who work well with a team and have an authenticity that resonates with others. Spry, whose first job was a page at the public library, advises teens 'not to be afraid to try,' even if they don't have the exact skills or experience for a job. She's impressed when she receives a letter with an application that explains why the person thinks they'd be a good fit. Brent Dul, executive vice-president with recruitment agency Randstad Canada , advises young job hunters to tailor their resumés and cover letters as best as possible to the job they are applying for, even if they don't have work experience: 'Think: What have I done?' He said it's smart to put the most important items at the top of a resumé and look closely at the job description to use the same type of language and key words. 'Looking for work should feel like a full-time job,' he said, recalling his own job hunt, when he dropped off resumés at dozens of businesses before being hired at Safeway as a courtesy clerk. 'The more times you put out your resumé, the most probability you will get a call back.' Dul said young people might find the most opportunities in tourism and seasonal sectors, as well as in gig work like tutoring, yard work or pet-sitting. Bella Borden has been job hunting for several weeks as her summer class schedule at Capilano University is lighter. But despite putting out 15 resumés, she's received a response from only one business. 'I heard back for a job as a line cook, but I didn't get hired,' she said. 'That's maybe not surprising because I don't have that experience.' But Borden has experience working in retail while in high school. She received no reply to many of the online applications she's filled out for jobs at large corporate retailers. She's also responded to help-wanted ads on Craigslist, with no success. 'I'm still looking for jobs,' she said. 'But to be honest, at this point I'm using student loans to pay for my expenses, plus help from my parents. If I don't find something, I'll be kind of screwed.' Her rent for a single bedroom in a basement suite in North Vancouver with a shared kitchen and no living space is $1,150 a month. Bobbie-Anne McFee's two teens found work through local connections. The Chilliwack woman said her 19-year-old son got a job at the cinema when he was 15, but wanted more hours and money after his first year of university. 'He didn't have much luck for all the applying he did,' she said. He got one interview, which required him to come home during exams for the interview, but he didn't get the job. A neighbour with a concrete company provided an opportunity. 'We let him struggle a bit, putting out applications,' she said. 'But when nothing was turning up, we talked to the neighbour (who) had previously mentioned having work if he wanted.' McFee, whose own first job was babysitting, said her 15-year-old daughter found work on a local farm starting in June. But she had few tips for other jobseekers. 'Perseverance is good,' she said, but in the end, it feels like 'luck' that her kids found jobs. gluymes@

Nova Scotia's ambitious 'Wind West' offshore energy plan gets support with conditions
Two leading environmental groups are giving a thumbs up to Nova Scotia's ambitious plan to dramatically expand its fledgling offshore wind energy industry. But both groups were quick to add caveats. On Monday, Premier Tim Houston said the province's plan to license enough offshore wind farms to produce five gigawatts of electricity would be increased eightfold to 40 gigawatts, well beyond the 2.4 gigawatts Nova Scotia needs. He called on Ottawa to help cover the costs of his new Wind West project, saying the excess electricity could be used to supply 27 per cent of Canada's total demand. "Nova Scotia is on the edge of a clean energy breakthrough," the Progressive Conservative premier said in an online video, adding the province is poised to become an "energy superpower." Gretchen Fitzgerald, executive director of Sierra Club Canada, said the premier's bold plan, which includes building transmission lines across the country, represents an exciting opportunity for the province. "It could be a game-changer for the region and for Canada," she said in an interview from Ottawa. "But it needs to be done correctly and with consultations." Fitzgerald said the Nova Scotia and Canadian governments must focus on securing long-term benefits from the nascent offshore wind industry because they did a poor job on that front when dealing with the offshore oil and gas sector. "We have to make sure that we are not selling out what is a massive resource for less benefit than communities should have," Fitzgerald said, adding that Nova Scotia continues to suffer from a high rate of energy poverty. In May of this year, utility affordability expert Roger Colton produced a report showing that 43 per cent of Nova Scotians were struggling to pay their energy bills — the highest proportion in Canada. While Fitzgerald applauded Houston's clean energy plan, she criticized what she described as the premier's populist penchant for taking decisive action before consulting with experts and the public. "Moving from a couple hundred turbines to thousands in the next decade needs to be done in a staged way so we learn how to do this right," she said, adding Houston appears to have adopted a "'move-fast-and-break-things mentality." "(That) can lead to unacceptable harm to sensitive ocean life," she said. "From a community benefits and acceptance point of view, breaking trust can be the biggest barrier to getting to good climate solutions." In October 2023, the Public Policy Forum released a study saying Sable Island Bank, an ocean area about 180 kilometres south of Nova Scotia, is among the world's best locations for wind energy generation. "It and several other similarly endowed areas off the coast of Atlantic Canada hold the potential to place the region among the leading global hubs of offshore wind-powered energy development," says the report from the independent non-profit think tank. It goes on to say that as the world shifts from a dependence on fossil fuels to forms of energy that do not emit climate-changing greenhouse gases, Atlantic Canada is facing "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity ... to recover an economic vitality comparable to the Age of Sail — fittingly built again on the power of wind at sea." The report says the installation of 15 gigawatts of offshore wind generation would create about 30,000 direct jobs annually. Despite the hype, the industry must also earn acceptance from Nova Scotia's fishing industry, which in 2023 contributed $2.5 billion to the province's economy and employed 19,000 people. In Halifax, a spokesman for the Ecology Action Centre called on the provincial government to build public trust, especially with coastal communities. "There really needs to be a priority on stakeholder engagement for all ocean users," said senior energy co-ordinator Thomas Arnason McNeil. "We're going to need to prioritize ecological safeguards and preserve the existing livelihoods that we have. That includes the fishing industry. That's half the economy in Nova Scotia." Still, he said the province's big push for clean energy is on the right track, especially when it comes to building out its electricity grid to better connect with the rest of the country. If done right, the payoff would be enormous, Arnason McNeil said. "We're talking serious job creation here and a lot of revenue potentially," he said. "The bottom line is that you have to do this right. (But) the prize at the end of the road is monumental in terms of the benefits." A call for bids to build enough offshore turbines to generate five gigawatts of electricity is expected as early as this year. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 8, 2025.
