Good question, I think a lot of it would have to do with the average cost of living combined with lifestyle. Homes are generally more affordable there, young qualified (post-secondary degree/diploma) workers born and raised in MB are migrating out of province for employment where the lucrative jobs are (Alberta, SK), retired folk are headed for BC. All the low skill jobs left behind are available to new and recent Canadians that don't have their credentials in order yet? This is my uneducated guess only.
