In Canada, full-time jobs are common. However, a growing number of people have part-time or short-term jobs.

Women make up a large portion of the work force and many have important, senior positions.

Canadians may change jobs and careers several times. This is often a personal choice.

Sometimes people must change jobs because the economy changes. For these, and other reasons, getting a job is not easy. Many people are looking for work.

Newcomers to Canada rarely enter the job market quickly and often must start with jobs
below the skill level they worked at in their home country.

Once they have Canadian job experience and their ability in English or French improves, so do their job prospects.
