Despite economic uncertainty, half of Canadian workers plan to look for a new job in the first six months of 2023, according to the latest biannual Job Optimism Survey by business consulting firm Robert Half, released in December 2022.
This is up from the firm’s survey in June 2022 that suggested 31 percent of Canadians were planning to look for a new job in the second half of 2022 or were already looking for one.
