Wood Products Manufacturing
Location of Work
Employment in this industry is spread across nearly all the major regions in B.C., but is more prominent outside the main population centres. Both the Lower Mainland/Southwest and Vancouver Island and Coast have far smaller shares of the employment in this industry than they do of total employment in B.C.
The Thompson-Okanagan, North Coast & Nechako, and most especially the Cariboo regions have much higher employment in this industry when compared to the average for all occupations. There is no employment base for this industry in the Kootenays.
