June 12, 2019 – Quebec has the highest job vacancy rate of any Canadian province at 4.1 per cent, a new report reveals.
The French-speaking province's 120,800 vacancies at the end of the first quarter of 2019 contributed a total of 435,000 unfilled positions, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB)'s latest Help Wanted report.
Quebec's vacancy rate is 0.8 percentage points above the national average, and 0.5 percentage points above any other province.
The figures lay bare the difficulty employers have in finding staff in Canada's second most populous province.
Although Ontario has more vacancies, at 174,800, its greater population means a vacancy rate of 3.3 per cent, equal to the national average.
