CareerWise is always on the lookout for the latest reports related to career development. Here are three reports that we found interesting this week.

The shift to remote work: How workers in Canada are adapting to working from home (Future Skills Centre)

The majority of those who have been working from home say they prefer this arrangement and want it to continue once the pandemic is over. And most of those who want to continue to work remotely prefer to do so on a regular basis, rather than occasionally.

The Rising Popularity of College Postgraduate Credential Programs in Canada (Statistics Canada)

College postgraduate credential programs – typically requiring a previous post-secondary credential as a prerequisite for entry and aimed at providing career-specific skills – have grown in popularity, accounting for 13% of all college graduations in 2019, more than double the share (6%) recorded five years earlier.

Comparing Government and Private Sector Job Growth in the COVID-19 Era (Fraser Institute)

This report finds that the public (government) sector accounts for a large majority (86.7%) of all net new jobs created since the start of the pandemic. Meanwhile, there has been almost no net job creation in the private sector (including self-employment).
