Between 2000 and 2020, direct employment in the BC forest industry was cut in half, falling from just over 100,000 jobs to just under 50,000. Over this same period the volume cut fell by 25-30 percent. The loss of jobs per unit of volume cut is mainly the result of increased mechanization of logging and milling operations.
