  • A recent report by StatCan reveals that the vacancy rate for health-related occupations has nearly tripled from 2.1 percent in 2016 to 5.8 percent in 2024. This significant increase highlights a growing shortage of nurses and support workers in the healthcare sector.
  • The rising vacancy rates in healthcare roles indicate a critical challenge for the industry, potentially leading to increased strain on existing staff and a decline in the quality of patient care. This trend raises concerns about the sustainability of healthcare services as demand continues to grow.
