By the year 2040 the region will have doubled in size and there will be 430,000 jobs in Durham (about the current population of Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax combined).

Heather McMillan, Executive Director of the Durham Workforce Authority states, “I think Durham has worked really hard to diversify itself. For me, the next 10, 15 to 20 years will be really exciting to see where we go.”
There are several industries putting down roots in Durham. They are expected to bring a future of work that is almost impossible to fully envision now.
