Top hiring sectors in Calgary

I have lived here for 16 years and have been working mostly in the energy sector, first as a consultant, and since 2007 - as a full-time employee. I think, first off we need to mention the energy sector as top employers with a lot of growth and the highest numbers of job postings. By the energy sector I mean not only oil and gas but also pipelines, related field and manufacturing servicing companies and related financial services. There is no doubt that professional engineers with APEGGA Certification are in demand and are top middle-class earners. I also found that accountants will always be able to find employment here (every company needs an accountant). Financial Analysts do very well too. In the construction sector, I heard that steel structure installers (sorry don't recall the proper term for that job) would not be likely to be out of work any time soon; a neighbour was very proud to mention his high job security. Administrative Assistants may not be highly paid, but are always in demand locally in every industry (with O&G Assistant being quite popular )... Would you have a personal interest be in this subject?
