In construction, 7.9 per cent of workers put in 440,000 additional hours in the second half of June,

In a report released Tuesday, the federal agency said 300,000 employed Albertans, or 13.5 per cent of the total employed population in the province, lastminute airplane tickets lost 7.5 million hours of work during that period. At the same time, 134,000 people, or 6.0 per cent of workers, put in 2.4 million additional hours. The net effect lastminute airplane tickets was a loss of 5.1 million hours of work.
"There was a net loss in hours worked in all industries, except utilities and public administration. Workers in these industries experienced a small net gain in their hours as a result of the flooding. In some industries, however, lastminute airplane tickets the net losses were large," it said.
"A significant share of professional, scientific and technical workers (27.3 per cent) missed work in the second half of June, with the number of hours lost totalling lastminute airplane tickets 1.4 million. Workers in natural resources, the majority of whom are in oil and gas extraction, also totalled 1.4 million hours lost, as one in four in the industry worked fewer hours."
Elisabeth Fayt, owner of the spa, said the facility did not suffer any physical damage due to the flood but its power was down for eight days and it was not able to service clients during that entire time.
"This resulted in a considerable loss of revenue, but the worst part was not being able to connect with our customers to communicate what was going on," she said. "After a few days, however, we were able to move our computers off-site and at least take future bookings which gave my team a newfound hope.
"Upon re-opening, business was considerably less for the first three weeks. Whether people were unsure if we were open or not, or if spa services simply lastminute airplane tickets weren't a priority, that is to be speculated . . . Today, I am relieved and grateful that sales levels have completely recovered and business is back to normal."
"When you look at something like the downtown core, how many employees there are, despite the fact there were lots of extra hours from police and fire and whatnot, lastminute airplane tickets you've lastminute airplane tickets still got tens of thousands of employees downtown that were unproductive," said Legge. "The magnitude of the geography the floods impacted doesn't come as a surprise.
Bruce Graham, president and chief executive of Calgary Economic Development, said the Statistics Canada data shows the magnitude of the flood itself lastminute airplane tickets but hopefully it will be nothing more than a "blip" in the economy of 2013.
"And it was not insignificant to southern Alberta when you've got all-told nearly 20 per cent of your workforce either re-deployed into overtime or missing work because of being impacted by the flood," said Graham. "Fortunately lastminute airplane tickets that was a relatively short-term impact. It was definitely a big hit in the month of June but what we've seen is a fairly robust recovery. I would suggest if there's an upside to all this is that we saw that with the excess labour that couldn't otherwise work being redeployed in a volunteer capacity, helping lastminute airplane tickets out their neighbours, helping get people back on their feet again, back in their homes."
Statistics Canada said in utilities, 98,000 hours were added to workers' schedules as a result of the flooding. While 12.9 per cent of utilities workers lost some work time, a similar proportion, that is 13.4 per cent, worked extra hours. Working extra hours was also common in public administration, where 17.7 per cent of workers put in 360,000 more hours, said the federal agency.
In construction, 7.9 per cent of workers put in 440,000 additional hours in the second half of June, the highest among all industries. At the same time, 13.3 per cent of workers in the industry lost work hours, totalling 787,000, the third highest number of hours lost among all industries, added Statistics Canada.
The percentage of the employed population with hours lost was highest among private sector employees (14.2 per cent) and lowest among public sector workers (10.3 per cent). Private sector employees lost 24.3 hours on average, while public sector workers logged an average of 20.8 fewer hours. The percentage of self-employed workers who lost hours as a result of the floods was 13.5 per cent.
Statistics Canada said the proportion working fewer hours was similar for men and women, at 13.8 per cent and 13.2 per cent respectively. The average number of hours lost by men, however, at 26.2 hours, was more than the 23.5 hours lost by women. Also, 7.0 per cent of men worked additional hours and their average hours worked totalled 19.5 extra hours, while a lower proportion of women (4.8 per cent) worked lastminute airplane tickets additional hours, averaging 15.0 extra hours.

Affected workers in this age group lost 26.8 hours on average, also the highest among all age groups. The total number of hours lost by workers in this age group was highest in professional, scientific and technical services, at 727,000, followed by natural resources, at 704,000, lastminute airplane tickets said the federal agency.
