Canada’s job vacancies reach record high in healthcare and social assistance sectors

November 6, 2022

Statistics Canada has released its report on payroll employment, earnings and hours, and job vacancies for August 2022.

This report measures the number of employees within Canada’s workforce who are currently receiving wages, how much money they make and how many hours they work.

The report also monitors job vacancies, or positions that were previously filled by an employee that are currently empty for any reason.

There were 958,500 vacant payroll employment positions in Canada last August. Overall, the report found little change from the data released in July, but still substantial change from August 2021 when there were 919,200 job vacancies.
