According to the Star Phoenix out of Canada, the demand for PR people continues to grow.
According to the paper (interesting stat of the day) there are over 11,880 PR people in British Columbia, and the demand continues to soar.
Cool.

I think industry demand has been having a tremendous increase globally, given the accruing impacts of globalization, the expanding reach, access and impacts of the internet and the transition of the business realm into several markets including the online one… I remember recently reading an article on Dubai and the masses of boutique PR firms popping up out there as well as many major Global PR firms opening up shop out there all in the matter of a year or so. |

I’m from BC. Doing an MA in Professional Communication, but I was considering moving to Ontario. I thought that’s where the jobs are supposed to be. |

Well, it’ll be interesting to see how this works out. As demand for PR increases, so does the amount of calls into reporters. In turn this makes our jobs tougher. I do think this gives the best an opportunity to rise to the top. |
