2020 has been a tumultuous year to say the least.
For most people in the workforce, this has been an uncertain time, but we’re slowly shifting towards recovery. In September, Statistics Canada announced their Labour Force Survey stating that 15,000 jobs had been added to the provincial economy during August. Just a month later, the 11th Hays Salary Guide reported that over half of all Canadians were considering leaving their job.
If things are beginning to normalize in the workforce, why are so many Canadians now looking for a change? The pandemic and resulting job loss in early 2020 was a wake up call for many workers who now greatly value both job and financial security.
