Job gains in 2011

The private sector will see an employment increase in 2011, according to a survey from CareerBuilder.ca, released on Dec. 29.

Thirty-two percent of Canadian employers surveyed said they would be adding full-time positions in the new year. That’s up from 29% in 2010 and 18% in 2009.

And 20% of respondents said they will increase their part-time positions, again an increase from the previous two years.

More than 75% of those polled said they would be increasing employees’ pay (around 3% or less) in 2011.
