Labour market report
What the board actually looks like, worked out from the postings on secondjob.ca. No survey panel and no numbers bought in from anywhere else. The figures at the top are counted straight off the board and refreshed through the day; the monthly report below them is written and published by hand.
The board right now
Counted from every listing open on secondjob.ca at the moment this was worked out, including the listings we carry from employers' own careers sites. Nothing here is estimated and nothing is bought in from anywhere else. The most recent listing went up on 2026-08-30. Worked out at 2026-09-10 06:26 UTC and rebuilt every hour, so the count on the job search may be a little ahead of it.
