The recent layoffs in the technology sector hint at the economy moving back to a pre-pandemic condition
The most in-demand jobs in Canada show the effects of three years of COVID-19 and our hurried shift to e-commerce, experts say, though the recent layoffs in the technology sector hint at the economy moving back to a pre-pandemic condition.
Mr. Montesano said more people in entry-level positions were taking advantage of the “hot market” in the first six months of 2022. For example, if you were a general labourer or warehouse worker, there was a lot of incentive and opportunity to move into a higher-level, higher-paying job quickly, leaving those spots to be backfilled.
The growth of e-commerce “peaked, but it seems like that sort of boom is not there anymore,” he said. “It’s kind of like getting back to the pre-2020 status.” He added that roles such as customer service representative, driver and sales associate probably won’t slip much from the list year-over-year: “Typically the economy can’t function without these professions or positions.”
“Despite the fact that we’ve heard a lot of noise around the looming recession, we haven’t yet seen anything translate in terms of demand for talent,” he said.
