A new study by CBC shows that Canadians are moving between careers at a great rate. And while retail is seeing a slight increase in workers, other sectors are attracting people in the double digits as workers leave service industries such as restaurants.
The study, based on StatCan employment records, indicates that professional, technical, and scientific services have seen a 19.5 percent jump in workers. Finance, insurance, and real estate are up collectively by almost 15 percent. The construction industry has seen a 6.5 percent increase in its workforce, while wholesale and retail trade were up slightly at four percent.
The sectors suffering the biggest drain include hospitality and food services, down 14.2 percent, and agriculture, down 10.7 percent.
