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 September bulletin to see what industry sectors and occupations have been most impacted in Ottawa.

News reports typically look at monthly data, however, showing 10.6% (down 0.7 points) for Ontario and 10.2% (down 0.7 points) nationally in August. Comparable data is not available at the local level. (Source: Statistics Canada tables 14-10-0294-01 and 14-10-0287-03)
