I know that sucks from an employer's perspective when they have to pay higher salaries and benefits to recruit and retain employees, but not being an employer I don't even know if that is an issue - I would suspect that price of goods and services are just adjusted to compensate.
Alberta is short on skilled workers. We will need 150,000 over the next 5-10 years. I doubt there will be any decrease in salaries.
