News Summary

Kevin Kliman, co-founder of Canadian HR platform Humi, discusses the challenges facing Canada’s job market, particularly for Gen Z. The survey data from Employment Hero reveals that a quarter of Canadians are unsure about their job security in the upcoming year, leading to significant anxiety and delayed financial decisions. Gen Z workers are notably underemployed, with many not working in their desired fields and a majority seeking new opportunities. Kliman identifies three macro trends affecting the job market: tariffs, AI’s impact on entry-level jobs, and a push for a return to the office. Additionally, there is a rising trend of young Canadian entrepreneurs choosing to establish their ventures outside of Canada.
