Jobs In Canada Increase During Economic Recovery

The entire world was affected in one way or another by the Great Recession that began in 2008, but as America began to experience economic recovery and growth, so did Canada.

By August 2015, Canada enjoyed job listings of 106,000 postings via the Canada Job Bank on average daily and 295,000 jobs listed on the Canadian edition of Indeed.com.

Other good websites on which to find top jobs in Canada include Workopolis.com, ca.Indeed.com, and SimplyHired.ca. Using these three best job search engines for the country,. you can find nearly every Canadian job listed coast to coast, if they are advertised on the Internet.

The American Jobs Act of 2011 was introduced to the people of the USA at the end of summer in September 2011.

Unemployment had been 9.1% nationwide for both July and August. In mid-September, the Internet recorded only somewhat over three million jobs listings - very low for America.

The AJA stated that five million people were looking for work, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics listed 154 million Americans workers, with 9.1% of those out of work. That's more than five million. Interestingly, by September 20, 2011, over 5,100,000 American jobs listings were available across the Internet, a jump of +2,000,000 jobs in just a few days. This is curious. Additionally, 5.1 Million is still not enough jobs for our unemployed.

By 2014 - 2015, America averaged daily job listings found across the Internet between 8.5 to 9.0 million or more. The USA increased numbers of jobs to a greater extent that did Canada, but Canada also increased.

Compared to the USA, Canada experienced a lower Unemployment Rate of 7.3% in August 2011, up from 7.2% in July.

The Job Mix of available, open jobs in Canada was different from that in the United States in the latter half of September 2011.

The Number One job listed most frequently in Canada was:

1. Full Time Bench Jeweler, with over 8,600 listings across the nation to the north. These were jobs often times located in a Sears Goldsmith Studio in Canadian Sears stores, where jewelry and watches are made and repaired. G & P Goldsmith is another advertiser of jobs.
