The sector that sets Metchosin apart is construction, at 1.7 times its weight across British Columbia. That concentration shows up in deposit patterns, from contract payments to seasonal peaks. A second, smaller concentration is farming, forestry and fishing (3.1% of local workers).
Construction carries a big share of jobs, so the building season matters. Materials are bought before invoices are paid, and holdbacks delay final payments. Coastal winters around Metchosin are mild, so outdoor work slows less than inland.
Explain a predictable dip when you apply rather than letting the numbers speak alone.
