Excerpted from the Canada Career Guide
The job market in Canada remains remarkably strong in
comparison to the difficulties being experienced south of
its border. Unemployment in Canada stands at 5.8 percent,
the lowest rate in 33 years. The economy is creating jobs at
its fastest pace in six years. To date, little has slowed
down the country’s job growth, even after two consecutive
years of 350,000+ annual job growth; 65,900 new jobs were
added in the first part of this year. This job growth has
been driven by hiring in construction, public administration
and professional/scientific/technical services. Growth in
these areas has offset losses in manufacturing and natural
resources; however, in natural resources, negative job growth
is most likely the result of severe worker shortages.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Canada guide.
