Which province in Canada has more job opportunities 2022?

 In November 2021, employment in Canada increased by 154,000, or 0.8 percent, over the same month in 2020. At the same time, unemployment fell to 6% in the same month. The services and goods-producing sectors of the Canadian economy saw a significant boost. In comparison to 2020, full-time employment increased by 0.5 percent, while part-time employment increased by 2.1 percent. The increase in employment was spread across nine Canadian provinces as per the occupations-in-demand in Canada. New employees (those who have been on the job for less than three months) saw their earnings rise quicker than those who have been on the job for more than 18 months.

The Canadian economy has been doing fairly well and is recovering fast from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The job markets in Canadian provinces have a favourable prognosis for 2022, thanks to Canada's consistent and deliberate steps in the area of immigration. The benefits of increasing immigration will transfer to a healthier labour market and a better economy as more immigrants arrive to work in Canada.

• Newfoundland and Labrador

British Columbia also maintained its employment level over time, indicating that it will continue to be a reliable job supplier in 2022. Quebec too cannot be overlooked as a source of stable employment in the last year.
