Gaining the most talent on the list, the report found that Toronto has added more than 81,000 tech related jobs since 2016, producing 54,800 more tech jobs than graduates. This in demand workforce has made Toronto a leading destination for highly skilled tech workers and employers seeking top talent.
Looking at the trends in employment, CBRE stated that over 270,000 people were employed in Toronto tech in 2020, representing 43% growth. Furthermore, Toronto’s millennial population grew by 21% since 2014, adding over 277,000 people to the city. In the area of millennials, CBRE stated “The younger part of this generation has grown up in the internet-connected world and expect an integrated and more tech-enabled working environment. Generally, this well-educated cohort prefers urban living, which has contributed to many revitalized downtown neighborhoods.”
