BC Industry Outlook 2021-2031

“The number of job openings edged lower, but is still running almost 70 per cent above pre-pandemic levels. So more Canadians than ever before are working, their pay is rising (though not as fast as inflation), and the economy continues to grow.” RBC economist Nathan Janzen.

The largest group, 50% of people surveyed by Workopolis, told us that it took approximately 16 weeks to secure their most recent job. This is slightly shorter than the Canadian average duration of unemployment-period reported by Statistics Canada as being 20.6 weeks earlier this year.
