EMPLOYMENT TRENDS DURING COVID-19
APPENDIXA.3
Canadian government labour market data (StatCan) is not sufficiently granular on a monthly basis to comment on the impact of COVID- 19 to the information technology workforce. Job posting data provides more real-time visibility into employer hiring practices, but that too has limitations given the near unprecedented nature of the global pandemic.
