The Skills Algorithm: Digital Skills Demand Across Canada’s Labour Market (The Dais)

This report offers insights into how our skill requirements have shifted throughout and beyond the pandemic, finding that the most in-demand digital skills continue to be for general workforce tasks – low-intensity digital skills that are relevant regardless of sector or industry. It also shows that employers are still seeking hybrid (digital and non-digital) skills.

Among the findings from this report:
