Vacancies
Statistics Canada issued November’s job vacancy report (the most recent data available) saw the overall number of vacancies in all industries across Canada decrease by 20,700 jobs. Despite this, vacancies overall remain at historic highs, totalling 850,300 open positions at the end of 2022.
Particularly, the healthcare and social assistance, professional scientific and technical services, and construction sectors continue to experience persistent vacancies (despite increasing hiring efforts), with little to no reduction on a year-over-year basis. This indicates a productive hiring climate in these industries—especially for newcomers, who collectively contribute to nearly 100% of labour force growth—as Canada’s economy moves farther away from the depressive effects of the COVID pandemic.
