Ontario job seekers are increasingly looking for work in other provinces, especially positions in remote-friendly sectors like tech, said a new report from Indeed.
In the second half of 2022, 6.1 per cent of clicks on Canadian job postings by Ontario-based job seekers were for positions in other provinces, according to the job search company.
Indeed senior economist Brendon Bernard said while jobs in natural resources have historically driven people to move to Alberta and Saskatchewan and continue to see higher shares of out-of-province clicks from job seekers, the jobs driving significant growth in outbound interest from Ontario are remote-friendly white-collar jobs like tech and marketing.
This shift is likely in part due to the rising cost of living, Indeed said, as well as more flexibility around remote work due to the pandemic. Regardless, he said as long as costs remaining elevated and more employers are offering remote work, migration out of Ontario is likely to stay higher than it used to be.
