Learn about the history and current state of the labour market to better understand hiring trends and job demand using the Labour Market Imbalances Dashboard.
In a labour market where job seekers are having difficulty finding suitable work, metrics such as the imbalances ratio provide insight into hiring and job-seeking dynamics. Use this dashboard to examine historical trends by comparing the number of unemployed people with the number of open positions from prospective employers.
Use in combination with the Vacancies by Occupation dashboard, which provides job seekers insight into which types of roles employers are hiring for, and how it compares to historical trends. To focus the dashboard on characteristics most relevant to your credentials and preferences, filter through education type, experience level, or type of work.
