36,198 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs
supported by Association members is
larger than that of our agriculture industry
(which supports 31,726
FTEs), and our film
and television industry (which supports
34,700). In fact, automobile-related
jobs are almost on par with those of the
resource industry (45,703 jobs in 2010),
which is touted as our main economic
driver of the future.
Not bad for an industry in which vehicle
manufacturing is largely confined to
eastern Canada.
The second report, which explores
the
NCDABC members' renovation and
construction expenditures, was released
in February of this year, and shows
that almost 55 percent of respondents
undertake renovations every five to 10
years, and 21 per cent undertake them
annually. About $195 million was spent on
new construction between 2010 and 2014,
and another $357-million is expected to be
spent in the next five years.
Based on this survey's responses,
MNP
estimates that the total direct, indirect
and induced economic impacts of
NCDABC
members are approximately $169.2
million, with employment of 991
FTEs. By
