This statistic shows the total number of employed persons in Canada in 2023, distinguished by their job tenure. In 2023, job tenure for the majority of Canadian employees was between one and five years with their current employer, meaning that around 6.5 million employees had their present job for one and five years.
Total number of employed persons in Canada in 2023, by job tenure
(in 1,000s)
Job tenure measures the number of consecutive months or years a person has worked for the current (or most recent) employer. The employee may have worked in one or more occupations or in one or more locations or businesses and still be considered to have continuous tenure if the employer has not changed. But if a person has worked for the same employer over different periods of time, job tenure measures the most recent period of uninterrupted work.
