HYBIRD WORK IN CANADA

Hybrid work is gaining in popularity in Canada, data from Statistics Canada released Friday shows. One in 10, or 1.7 million workers, split their time between the office and home in October, according to the latest Statistics Canada labour force survey. That’s a rise of 5.4 percentage points since January 2020, and a gain of 0.4 percentage points since September.

Almost ever industry saw a greater share of workers splitting their time between the office and alternate locations from January to October. But knowledge workers made the biggest gains, with the finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing sectors growing the most. Meanwhile, exclusively working from home has declined as more people flock back to offices, Statistics Canada said.
