    Since the start of the epidemic, the Canadian employment market has been in turmoil, with many employers altering their recruiting policies because to economic instability and a labour shortage. Fortunately, the future is favourable for first-time job searchers and those wishing to change fields.

    According to Randstad’s annual assessment of the most in-demand jobs countrywide, there are several vocations that may provide “security and stability in uncertain times.”

    According to Randstad business analysts who examined customer data and the types of roles posted in the previous year, jobs in technology, healthcare, and professional services will see the most growth in 2023, including a number of roles that require little formal training but offer competitive pay.

    Companies have invested in e-commerce as a result of changing customer behaviour as a result of COVID-19. This implies that professions in digital marketing and customer service, as well as those related to supply chain facilitation, are on the rise.

    “With the vast increase in demand for online deliveries, reduced delivery cycle, never-before competitive market, and ever-increasing customer demand, we also see a strong need for supply chain positions, like production supervisors, warehouse workers and drivers,” said Bédard.

    As a large portion of the country’s trained workforce ages out of the labour field, there is a widespread need for blue-collar jobs. Bédard claims that “decades of shortages of trained young people in this industry” may be traced back to the 1970s, when “high schools did not push skilled crafts as a career route.”
