Ontarians’ clicks rose for all provinces in mid-2020, but was especially notable in job postings in British Columbia and Atlantic Canada. Interest in these areas has remained at elevated levels since, but data shows that Alberta and Quebec are now more in focus. Alberta had the most clicks of any province made by Ontarians in the second half of 2022 , which nearly doubled its share from the same period in 2019 .
The report found that natural resource and science, technology, engineering and technology job seekers were most likely to look outside the province. More than 10 per cent of clicks made by Ontarians on a range of Canadian STEM job postings were for jobs located elsewhere. The same was true for job postings in mining , aviation and agriculture .
Part of the reason is because the wages offered for these occupations tend to be higher in certain provinces. That could explain why clicks on some engineering and manufacturing jobs in Alberta were especially elevated, while software development jobs in B.C. also received disproportionate attention.
