That’s a nice way of saying…you’ll cost too much!

I think the labour shortage in Lethbridge is mostly confined to minimum wage jobs.

At our theatre we are having problems finding people who will work for us at the rates we can afford to pay them. I think fast food places are having a similar problem.

I don’t think there is much of a shortage for higher paying jobs that require specialized knowledge or experience.

Currently, my field is asset management. It’s a difficult job to do without actually being where the assets are.

You’re applying in the wrong city. If you were to apply in Calgary you could earn substantial money. . . Of course it would cost you substantial money as well.
Everything is relative.
As for qualifications, you could probably get a job in Calgary and remain in Lethbridge. I believe they have now advanced communications to the point that you don’t have to live where you work, particularly in your field.
Just a thought.
