More Immigrants In Canada Were Employed In September 2020

Canada is a country that is known for being open to immigrants. Compared to other countries, Canada opens its borders warmly to new immigrants. It also has set a minimum number when it comes to welcoming new immigrants – unlike other countries that would only put a maximum. This is not how Canada does things. In fact, the more immigrants they welcome, the better it is for the country.

 

In recent news, there were more immigrants in Canada who were part of the labor force of the country who became employed in September 2020. This goes to show that the businesses of the country are starting to recover from the effects of the pandemic that has created much chaos all over the world, Canada included. The businesses are starting to get back on their feet and are now needing people to help them out with the processes and the operations. This is definitely good news as it means that more locals and immigrants in the country would be having jobs and would be able to start earning for themselves.

 

Rising employment numbers

 

For September 2020, employment in Canada went up by 2.1%. This is a huge jump as compared to the number in August which was at 1.4% increase. These are data provided by the Labor Force Survey done by Statistics Canada. The data used have been collected from September 13 to 19, 2020. The numbers have shown that the employment rate in the country is now at around 3.7% of the levels that were recorded before the novel coronavirus created the chaos. This percentage accounts to around 720,000 jobs.

 

Looking at the data, experts have also seen that among all the industries that are in the country, three industries have found themselves at the bottom of all the industries in Canada when it comes to recovering from the entire situation. These three industries are accommodation, retail trade, and food services. But things are not really looking that grim for these industries as they are already starting to recover – they just are not doing as good as the other industries.

 

Older immigrants vs. newer immigrants

 

Immigrants who have joined Canada over five years ago have a higher chance of getting employed as compared to newer immigrants. This is as per an analysis done by Statistics Canada. The agency also disclosed that immigrants are mostly employed in common industries which include public administration, insurance, rental, leasing, real estate, finance, social assistance, and health care. The analysis also continued that older immigrants in Canada were much more likely to keep their jobs as compared to newer immigrants. The newer ones would mean that they are also new employees and they are more prone to being laid off if their services are no longer needed or if the businesses are trying to cut back on expenses.
