time when employer hiring appetite has been on the wane, we now have a surge of youth job seekers, and the demand isn\u2019t there to keep up with the [labour] supply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-async=\"\">Canada welcomed 1.3 million newcomers in 2023 and the 15\u201324-year-old population cohort grew by an estimated 335,700 people since last June, according to Statistics Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Lang, president and chief executive at Youth Employment Services, one of the country\u2019s leading employment service organizations that help youth aged 15-30 find employment opportunities, says he has seen an increase in young people seeking their services, including young newcomers to Canada, which has caused an increase in demand for jobs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of those new Canadians are youth in the 20s-30s age, so there is far more competition for the existing jobs,\u201d Lang said. \u201cWe know in the long-term that increase in new Canadians can lead to further economic opportunity and new businesses, but in the short-term it certainly means more competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-async=\"\">The tightness seen in the labour market, following the re-opening of

The number of job postings have now returned to levels seen since before the pandemic and in some cases, below pre-pandemic levels. This could be attributed to businesses coming to grips with the slow economic situation and the gradual fallout of a high interest environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn general, recruiting activity, job vacancies, are one the most cyclical aspects of the economy,\u201d Bernard said. \u201cThat is going to naturally impact people who are on the margins of the labour market in particular.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lang noted a potential third trend that may be contributing to the problem of youth joblessness, where employers are offering more part time jobs over full time positions,
