I'm a University grad with a year of management under my belt, and I'm wondering if I would be able to get a high paying job if I moved back to Calgary or posted my resume there.
Is there a shortage of management, or simply labourers?

There is a shortage of pretty much anything right now in the labour market. If you want to manage an oil company for 175k a year you likely don't find that job. But if you want to manage a retail store or service bussiness or something of that ilk you'll have your choice of multiple jobs in 24 hours.
All I know is 10 years ago when I started drafting the starting wage was like $10-12 an hour. Today it comes in at 12-15 type of thing. To spend two years in college and only make that type of money and drive by a bunch of warehouses advertising for more than that would be discouraging. Heck even after 10 years and being in a cuishy office job and making a decent wage I do wonder if I shouldn't go bust my ass for a year to try and make some quick money while my body can still take the work.
