Food processing sector has thousands of vacant jobs, and that spells trouble
Statistics Canada’s recent September job market data is reassuring, overall. But for the agri-food sector, the reality is quite different.
Overall, employment in the country increased in September, creating 378,000 jobs, the majority of which were full-time. This increase in September brought total employment to 720,000, shy of the level we had before the pandemic. Obviously, children being back to school has helped bring some normalcy to our lives. For the economy, that’s very encouraging.
