Vancouver named Canada's job-hopping capital
Do you find yourself switching jobs often?
You’re not alone, especially in Vancouver.
A new report from resume.io ranked Canada as the leader in Canada when it came to job-hopping — the practice of holding down many jobs in a short period of time.
âWe identified all currently employed LinkedIn users with less than one year (âjob-hoppersâ) or more than 10 years (âloyalâ) with their current company,â reads resume.ioâs methodology.
It found that of all Canadian cities, Vancouver had the highest percentage of workers who stayed at a job for less than a year (20.5%).

Contributing to that is Vancouver’s tech industry, growing at a rate of about 6% per year — which stirs a pool of about 75,000 local workers to try new pastures. The film industry’s reliance on temporary workers also factors in.

âAccording to the Vancouver Economic Commission, the film industry is a âcrucial employer,â yet it tends to tired temporary workers, which could explain why hopping is so prevalent,â the report explains.
In contrast, the most loyal worker-employer relationships were found in Ottawa, with 27.22% of workers staying with their current company for over 10 years.
Switching jobs more often has become more common than it used to be, with more people job-hopping more frequently. Though it used to be cause for concern on a resumĂ©, it’s now more the norm.
