The Canadian job market is full of opportunities to not just earn a decent salary but also to continue to advance and build a career.

According to Indeed, the best jobs in Canada right now are the ones that are the most in-demand while offering competitive pay and opportunities for professional growth.

Indeed created a list of the best jobs in Canada based on employer demand, salary (using a base salary of at least $75,000), and consistent growth in job posting shares.

“Indeed has seen many companies hiring for tech positions over the past six months, especially at big banks and financial service companies,” said Indeed in a release.

“Insights from a recent job posting report by Brendan Bernard, senior economist at Indeed, shows that although tech jobs cooled in early March, the sector has been a key driver of overall Canadian employment growth in recent years and there is a strong demand for workers with these skills.”

“In fact, job postings in software development, for example, remained double their pre-pandemic level in June,” said Indeed.

Here are the best jobs in Canada, plus their average salary and percentage growth in the share of job postings from 2019 to 2022.
