The Canadian companies were actively looking for to fill more than one million vacant positions at the beginning of March 2022, according to Statistics Canada’s latest report on payroll employment, earnings and hours, and job vacancies.
The job vacancies in Canada reached all time high record-high of 1,012,900 in March 2022, more than the previous record of 988,300 in September 2021. Here was an increase in 186,400 vacancies between February and March. The job vacancy rate, which actions the number of vacant positions as a proportion of vacant and filled positions, matched the record high of 5.9%
Vacancies improved by more than one third in both housing and food services as well as retail trade. Employers in housing and food services were seeking to fill about 158,100 positions, and retail employers had some 109,200 vacancies.
There were record levels of job vacancies in health care and social assistance as well as construction. Health care and social assistance employers were seeking to fill 154,500 vacancies, and construction employers were seeking an unprecedented 81,900 employees.
Job vacancies were up in all provinces. The largest month-over-month increases were observed in some of the provinces such as in Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador. The job vacancies reached a record high in Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia.
- The decline accords with a record-low unemployment rate of 5.3%, and a record-high core-age labour force contribution rate of nearly 87%.
- Labour shortages remained mainly felt in Quebec and British Columbia, each having an unemployment-to-job vacancy ratio of 0.8.
- A lower ratio indicates a tighter labour market. The highest was 4.3 observed in the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador.
- Job vacancies had fallen for five consecutive months from September 2021, a purpose of seasonal demands.
- In Canada, economic movement increases in the spring and summer and declines in the winter.
