Job Vacancy Survey Shows More Canadians Chasing After Fewer Jobs
It’s getting harder and harder to find a job in Canada, and even the booming west is seeing a worsening labour market, new StatsCan data shows.
There were 17 per cent fewer jobs available to Canadians in the first three months of the year than there were a year earlier, StatsCan’s latest job vacancy survey shows.
The number of people chasing after every available job in Canada has increased. There were 6.8 people looking for work per job opening in the three months ending in March, the survey found, up from 6.3 people per job a year earlier.
That ratio is near all-time highs, but the survey data only goes back to 2011, and the situation was likely worse during the economic crisis of 2008-2009.
