New offices will give them potential to more than triple their workforce in the coming years
Alphabet Inc. plans to expand the company’s footprint in Canada, with the potential to more than triple their workforce in the coming years, Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat announced in Toronto on Thursday.
Currently, the company has around 1,500 employees in Canada. It was not clear from Porat’s remarks how quickly Google actually plans to hire, or what factors will dictate whether they add jobs to fill those new offices.Earlier this week, Google reported total revenue of US$134.8 billion from advertising, with the overwhelming majority of that money coming from ads on Google Search and YouTube.
Moreover, the federal government published a digital charter in 2019, which lays out a roadmap for reforms to Canada’s data and privacy laws this year that could affect Google.
