在9月份阿省在能源行业失去了很多的工作机会，但是在非能源行业，如服务也和政府工作方面，则新增了工作机会。在去年阿省共创造了41千个工作岗位。能源行业解雇的人被其他行业所吸收。

本周五加拿大统计局将公布九月份的工作统计数据，那时将有官方的数据予以公布。

There were a lot of job cuts in the energy sector in September. TransCanada. Cenovus, Penn West, PHX Energy, Conoco Phillips, and TransAlta are just a few of the big names that reported layoffs in the month, with losses adding up to more than 2,000 positions.

Alberta has lost 35,000 oilpatch jobs, petroleum producers say

The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers said that 35,000 oil patch jobs have been lost over the past year.

However, Alberta's job market has been flexible. While it's been shedding jobs in oil and gas, it has added them in the service and public sector. Over the past year, there's been a net addition of 41,000 jobs in Alberta.

The province's unemployment rate has gone up to six per cent, but according to Statistics Canada, that's because more people have entered the job market looking for work.

At the same time, Albertans' wages have started to drop, as people move from higher paying energy jobs to those with lower salaries.

The official numbers show that non oil and gas sectors of the economy have absorbed much of the losses from the energy sector.

On Friday, Stats Can will release the official job numbers for September, which will show if that trend continued.
