Working conditions vary based on the sector: forestry and mining often involve physically demanding work, while tech and film offer more diverse roles in urban settings. The province’s natural beauty fuels its tourism industry, providing opportunities across hospitality, outdoor recreation, and eco-tourism, often with seasonal fluctuations in employment.
