Summary:
Employment was little changed (-31,000) in July, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.9%.
Employment declined among older and core-aged women, while it was up among older men.
At the industry level, a decline in the services-producing sector was offset by an increase in the goods-producing sector.
A decrease in the number of employees working in the public sector was tempered by a gain among self-employed workers.
Fewer people were working in Ontario and Prince Edward Island, while employment was little changed in all other provinces.
Total hours worked were down 0.5% in July, after increasing 1.3% in June. Compared with a recent peak in March 2022, total hours worked were down 1.5% in July.
The average hourly wages of employees were up 5.2% (+$1.55 to $31.14) on a year-over-year basis in July, matching the pace of wage growth recorded in June.

13. Digital Skills and Employment
Blog - Almost all workers will be required to learn new digital skills in the next decade
By the time we hit 2030, almost all workers in the UK (90 percent) will be required to learn new digital skills to do their jobs,
a new report from CRM provider Salesforce and analyst firm IDC argues.
To train such a vast number of workers, the country will need to spend approximately $1.8 billion every year.
While the Covid-19 pandemic may be partially responsible, causing a sudden shift to digital technologies, the report also
argues that this is nothing more than a natural course.

14. Job Shortages / Canada
As the Canadian economy emerges from more than 15 months of COVID-19 restrictions and workers begin to return to the
office, experts say a wave of employee resignations could trigger labour shortages in a variety of sectors.

New research from the annual 3M State of Science Index reveals whether it is finding the way out of the pandemic, or
successfully tackling other issues such as sustainability and climate change. 93 per cent of Canadians recognize scientists as
being critical to our future well-being considering the pandemic. At the same time, 68 per cent of Canadians acknowledge
underrepresented minority groups often do not receive access to STEM education, which is critical not only because a more
diverse STEM workforce will result in more innovative ideas, but also to enable Canada to increase its global collaboration
to help solve some of our biggest problems.
15. Wages and Employment

The goods-producing sector had 21.6% of the total jobs in Nov15 as compared to 20.4% in Jul21.

effective post-secondary and immigration programs. https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/how-best-to-
