Ontario Jobs – Significant Demand for Finance, Sales and IT Positions
With steady employment growth hovering around 1.5% per year, Ontario jobs are representative of a modern diverse economy. In fact, the province of Ontario accounts for almost 40% of Canada’s GDP, which in 2006, translated to $556 billion dollars (Statistics Canada).
A recent shift in Ontario jobs towards community, business and financial services is reflective of growth in the top profitable industries of insurance, real estate and leasing. These sectors are followed closely by manufacturing, professional and administrative services, wholesale and retail trade, health care, social services and construction (Ontario Ministry of Finance, Economic Accounts, 2006).
At Harcourt, we keep abreast of such changes in the economy and the job market through our long-term relationships with companies from all sectors.
Jobs in Toronto – Head Office Capital of Canada
Another significant Ontario employment trend has been an increase in head office jobs in Toronto of 19% between 1999 and 2005 (Statistics Canada). This business sector capital of Canada boasts head offices that range from pharmaceutical companies and retail sales organizations to Canadian banking and insurance institutions. As a result, Ontario jobs offer diverse and lucrative career opportunities.
