“Labor markets across the globe have been particularly tight in recent months, and Canada’s has been no exception,” reads the report.

“While advantageous for job seekers, this landscape has proved challenging for companies competing to attract and retain top talent. Forbes set out to identify the companies doing the most for their employees with our annual ranking of Canada’s best employers.”
