Employment Inventory

Every year, we conduct an annual inventory of local employers.

Employment inventories are considered a best practice in other GTA communities. It is a strategy Niagara has adopted to improve our global competitiveness.

2025 Survey

From May to August, representatives from Niagara Region conduct in-person surveys with businesses across Niagara.

Results from the survey contribute to a comprehensive understanding of Niagara's employment landscape by providing reliable data on employment numbers, types of employment and job / industry locations.

Surveyors collect the following information from business owners:

  • Physical business location
  • Business owner information
  • Business activity information
  • Employee and staffing attributes (employee counts, seasonal workers, work from home employee counts)
