The number of job postings in Nipissing in May was almost identical month-over-month.  

The Labour Market Group reports 564 job postings that month, up 1.4% from April, but down just over 9% compared to May last year. 

“While the year-over-year decreases may look alarming, the May 2025 numbers are in line with the May 2023 numbers indicating that the 2024 numbers were likely a one-off and unsustainable,” states the May Jobs Report.  “This month, there were 266 unique employers; a minor increase in month-over-month (+2.3%, +6) comparisons building on the momentum from December and marking 6 consecutive months of increases.” 

The top five hiring employers:  

  • North Bay Regional Health Centre  
  • Nipissing University 
  • Canadore College 
  • Voyageur Aviation Corp  
  • Ontario Northland 

The top hiring industry, with 23.4% of the May job postings, is Health Care & Social Assistance.  

Retail Trade (16.3%) and Educational Services (14.9%) round out the top three.
