Description

This dataset contains Canada job postings. A limited number of sample job postings may be retrieved in their entirety, but the primary metrics available are aggregate counts of job postings. These counts may be filtered, ranked, and sorted by company, skills, job title, region, timeframe, source, industry, and more. Results may also be filtered by keyword search of the full job posting text. Data is available back to November 2017 and is updated monthly.
