Ottawa Employment Hub is your provincially-funded Workforce Planning Board in the Ottawa region. We connect business and community partners to bridge the skills gap and broaden the search for talent. We provide local labour market information to help employers, workers and job seekers make informed choices.
We have developed a new Monthly Labour Market Bulletin to provide a view of the changing local labour market during the current COVID-19 situation.
Explore the November bulletin to see what industry sectors and occupations have been most impacted in Ottawa.
6.6% unemployment rate in Ottawa in December, down 0.5 points from November, based on seasonally adjusted three-month moving average. Comparable Ontario and national rates were 9.4% (same as last month) and 8.7% (down 0.1 points) respectively. News reports typically look at monthly data, however, showing 9.5% (up 0.4 points) for Ontario and 8.6% (up 0.1 points) nationally in December. Comparable data is not available at the local level.
