The best jobs in Canada for the year 2023 have been revealed and you might find them useful if you’re on a job hunt.
Experts at leading hiring platform Indeed studied the Canadian job market and took a look at 2022 employment trends to determine what’s going to be in demand this year.
Last year, Canada saw lowered unemployment rates, and even though this year has begun with a shocking chain of mass layoffs globally, analysts at Indeed predict that job seekers will have tons of choices in 2023, especially in the tech industry.
Indeed’s ranking is based on the following three factors:
- Opportunity: Growth in share of postings from 2019 to 2022
- Salary: Salary minimum above the Canadian median salary in 2020 ($65,000)
- Flexibility: At least 10% of postings must include terms to indicate “remote” or “hybrid” work
“Despite a slowdown in hiring in recent months, tech jobs remain among the most common high-paying job types on Indeed,” said Brendon Bernard, senior economist at the employment website. “As of late December, tech postings were still 30% above where they stood in February 2020, suggesting opportunities for job seekers remain.”
Michelle Slater, director at Indeed, said those considering a change in their career should focus on enhancing their skill set and search for new opportunities. “But first, take the time to evaluate what matters most for you in your career,” she added.
