Summary
Statistics Canada found that hiring rates for workers aged 15 to 29 fell across all three categories of jobs it examined, including occupations least exposed to artificial intelligence. In low-exposure jobs, the rate dropped from 4.0% to 3.3% when comparing six-month averages ending in November 2022 and August 2026. The agency said the early findings show a general cooling in hiring, not a clear AI-driven change.
