Employment
The job market in South
East Alberta is hot! There are lots of great career opportunities
in many different industries from trades to healthcare to manufacturing
and many, many more. There is demand for all levels of positions,
too, from entry-level to senior positions.
The main economic base for the Village of Cereal includes farming, ranching and oil and gas exploration, production and services. New opportunities are tourism and ecommerce/remote work.
Agriculture
Farms in our regions are generally mixed, ranching and grain production. A large percentage of these farms have one operator and are considered a family farm. The average farm has approx 1500 acres and 75 head of cows. Grain production accounts for a large percentage of acreage usage; this production is generally done using a summer fallow/crop rotation due to the arid climate.
Energy Sector
Our communities are blessed with an abundance of lands and resources. The energy sector is very strong and provides employment and much economic spin off to our communities. We have a number of Energy Related Businesses, Services and Contractors.
