- Are there jobs in New Brunswick? Well...it's not exactly a black and white answer and a lot of it actually has to do with you and not the job market. This is not a one-size-fits-all video. This video is more about adjusting our mindsets to approach the job market in New Brunswick. The province is not exactly known for its low unemployment rates. But as you will see in the video. Stats don't always paint a perfect picture.

What is your perspective on the job market in New Brunswick? Would love to hear your thoughts!
Highly recommend diving into a community before coming! We latched onto the homeschool community here and had friends upon arrival! That sense of belonging immensely helped with our transition to a new province!
It's key! 100%
You couldn’t have addressed this topic better than you did. Brilliant!!
Thanks for watching!
I’m moving to Moncton late this year from Brazil to make a post-grad. My wife is a dentist and we both know we won’t be able to apply for high level jobs during our temporary stay. However, I see a possibility that NB jobs market may grow due to many Canadians moving to NB seeking for an affordable house and new immigration programs. All in all, I truly believe having one of the poorest provinces and the highest taxes of all Canada, doesn’t help the economy grow at high levels.
The growth in population is helping. It hasn't happened like this in history from what people are saying. Everyone is waiting to see what will happen next.
Awesome video! You have a wonderful perspective, Thankyou for sharing. Keep it up! xo
Thank you for watching!
Thinking of doing the vanlife, in a couple years, early retirement and thinking on sttling in new brunswick sometime. Thank you for all the info!!
Van life! Would be awesome :)
Depending on the field there is tons and tons of work.
If you work with your hands u will be in high demand.
Painters,plumbers,landscapers,drywallers,carpenters will have tons and tons of work.
We finally got to the fredericton area July 30th.
Perfect timing for restrictions to end and we are loving it.
Awesome! And ya you're right. The trades never go out of style. High pay too!
Just noticed you are growers! Will you continue out here?
@@atribecalledowens absolutely I just have to transfer my licensing over to the new address and will continue my channels content
I'm a PM in the construction industry, and Red Seal carpenter. My wife and I are looking very seriously at moving. Looks great.
I moved to New Brunswick from Windsor ,Ontario in July, waited for my kids to go back to school, applied for a job at the Irving Mill, got a call within two days, been working two weeks now, that was the only place I applied for, pays pretty good, I'm starting at 20/hour
wow nice! I hope others find this comment!
Only 20?
@@rps1689 yes, then after my 90 days, my wage goes up, all I'm doing is cleaning My house it paid off, I bought a cottage in Cape Breton, so yeah my life is pretty good, and I'm not even 30 yet!!!!!
@@kitkat914 Well if your house is paid off, you're sitting pretty only making Saint John's basic living wage. To each his own, you couldn't give me a free house to live in Saint John.
@@rps1689 lol I don't live in Saint John, not even near it, and no I wouldn't want to live in Saint John either!!!!
Thanks for addressing this issue! I really like how you tie mindset into this as it is very relevant. 😊😊
Right?! It’s not so black and white when you really dig in.
Lots of LPN and PSW positions available…they are now offering the PSW course with FREE TUITION!
That is amazing!
Excellent video, thank you! Great perspective on it.
Thanks for watching!
There are jobs, it will not come to you, you have to actively search for it. Of course comparing to Toronto where their family came from, the job market is different.
True!
Employment Insurance, because you’re not insuring if you want to be employed not unemployed
Ya it can be complex. In the example I gave in the video would it be ok if that person collected EI while they took a course to attain new skills to get them an equal or better job? Instead of taking any job they could even if pay was drastically reduced?
what is the average thecost of the 1/2 bedroom in saint john vs moncton
Hmm will have to research!
jere la40 here. good vid bro. i see you brought that nfc reality to the folks. TONS of humble jobs out here that will fund a humble and peaceful life if MONEY is not the definition of success. it's the polar opposite to toronto and yet a toronto cat COULD thrive if they were going to set aside fears and be more of a pioneer. i just moved here with the wife today..im in Shediac if you wanna holla.
Exactly! And yes for sure will hit you up if we make it over there! Same to you.
It is genuine and helpful keep it up!
Thank you!
Hey Jordan, thanks for your input on this topic! Something that's been heavy on my mind lately is the shortage of doctors in New Brunswick. May I ask what your experience has been like in that regard so far?
So far no experience but we hear the same as you! I’d like to do some real investigation into this for a video.
This was a major eye opener for us when we moved here. We were on a wait list from December 2017 and only got a family doctor by fluke in January 2020. I have met people who have been on the list for longer. The premier has recently said he is working on getting everyone on the list off and with nurse practioners but they need to hire these people who just aren't here. It's alarming BUT there are some great doctors at the walk in clinics which are readily available, at least here in Saint John.
Hey! born and raised in NB. Not to scare anyone off but this is actually a massive issue in NB. I have been on a waitlist for a doctor as often as I have had one. Even when you get one, they can retire, leave the province, etc. The typical waitlist is 3 years long. And I have lost multiple doctors to them leaving the province and you end up right back on the list. The other issue is when you do not have a family doctor it is very hard to get treatment. If you go to the clinic you need to call as soon as the lines open and redial until you can be placed on hold and then wait until they can eventually get to your call - often to tell you they will not accept patients for those concerns and you have to go to the ER. But at the Er you are looking at a 5 hour minimum wait and they often ask why you did not go to the clinic instead. Again, not here to scare anyone. But this is a very very real reality in NB, and I do think it is important to consider. Especially if you or someone in your family has medical issues
@@billybob2229 WOW that's really concerning! I don't have any medical issues that need constant attention (knock on wood) but I'm not sure if we'll be in Ontario or New Brunswick when my husband and I start having kids. I can't imagine going through a pregnancy without a family doctor or regular care. I get shots regularly and I feel like I might need to learn to give them to myself lol! It's insane that the state of health care is like that in New Brunswick when New Brunswickers pay higher taxes. And for what? Inaccessible health care? The government should give local doctors incentive to stay and give doctors from outside the province incentive to come. My husband and I are in a situation where if we stay in Ontario we're looking at $1M to own a townhouse or move to where he has family in NB and run the risk of not having health care when we need it.
@@mariastamatakos3205 Thanks for your perspective Maria! When we plan on moving it will be to Fredericton where my husband has family. My brother-in-law sent a screenshot of his phone records - he called his clinic over 600 times and didn't get through! I'm not sure if clinics give preference to pregnant people and infants but it really has me thinking about in which province we're going to start our family.
you should make a video on French New-Brunswick. I think as an Ontarian it’s important for you to talk about the history and culture of the province you’ve moved to. the Acadians here have had to fight for a lot of their current rights and it would be nice if you could acknowledge the Francophone culture of NB
Ah yes interesting. Maybe in the future!
There are lots of jobs out here, just depends on if you want to do them or not. ;)
Yup, tis true!
Please how can I get a Fram work in new Brunswick!
I'm moving NB-Moncton by next month to start a new life there...❤🇨🇦❤
Good luck!!

Hi sir... thank you for the efforts and guidance. Could you pls let me know are there any manufacturing or services industries related to electric technology or engineering in Newburnswick. Waiting for your reply and thank you once again 😄
I'm sure there is. Saint John in particular is an industrial city. Engineering is broad so I'm not sure of your specific inquiry. I would suggest connecting with people in your desired field via linkedIn!
@@atribecalledowens thank you for the reply. It means a lot to me. I'm planning to take a course at nbcc College. Could you pls let me know, is it possible to get ITA or PR when I take a One year course at NBCC. Waiting to hear from you.... thank you 😊 🙏🙏
You don’t need dairy - amen! Oat milk is super cheap at the dollarama and way healthier!
YES!!
Does it taste like almond milk? Insane prices here for milk.
@@rps1689 We prefer oat milk over almond actually. It’s creamier, non allergen obviously, and better for the planet.
@@pamsheppard7998 Well, I should give it a try.
On a scale of 1 to 10 , 10 being most likely 1 being never happening. what would you rate moving to New Brunswick knowing what you know now
The answer will be different for every person. It's dependant on where you are and what your needs are at this current time in life! For a young family who works remote and loves the outdoors, it's really a no brainer. For a single person pursuing a career as a musician, Toronto is probably a much better idea.
Were do u guys live? So happy I found ur beautiful channel
We are in Saint John!
Si vous est bilangue c'est beacoup de les traveauex en Nouveau Brunswick.

Hi! Thank you for video. It's really helpful. I'm from Ukraine. I think about moving to Canada, NB, with my family ( wife and 3 kids) In Ukraine I was wedding videographer and last months I learned UI/UX design (web). Is it good idea for me? Can build my career in NB?
Oh course! You have a diverse skill set!
@@atribecalledowens but at Design I'm just a starter. My courses stopped in a middle.. I have no portfolio. Is it possible to find job as videographer there?
What about frensh speaking ppl ? Can we get a job easily
Many jobs require people to speak both. Especially government jobs!
Jobs for a polyglot wheelchair user?
Yes, I'm sure! That is a valuable skill.
