Future of work
A curated resource of recent research on trends shaping Canada's labour market.
The modes of transportation used by Canadian workers have certainly changed since the COVID-19 outbreak. The number of commuters has dropped considerably in order to contain the spread of the virus. To examine these changes over the course of the pandemic, Statistics Canada conducted a third wave of the Canadian Perspectives Survey Series (CPSS) from June 15–21, focusing on Canadians working throughout the pandemic. Results indicate that 24% of workers who previously used public transit still do, while 34% of public transit users switched to another mode of transportation. Data also suggest that workers with higher levels of education are more likely to switch to telework.
