Alberta short 100,000 workers

Edmonton — A new Alberta government report projects a shortfall of 100,000 workers over the next decade in the province's super-heated economy.
The report calls for a stronger push to train more workers and better recruitment programs to lure more people into the work force, including aboriginals.
There's also a renewed call for relaxed federal immigration policies to allow more skilled workers to come to Alberta from outside of Canada.
Alberta's booming oil sands region has been complaining for several years about a lack of tradesmen to help build more than $100-billion in new projects over the next two decades.
