A new report released today by Trucking HR Canada (THRC) shows truck driver vacancies are down 36% compared to the same period in 2023.
THRC’s National Job Vacancy Update Q2 2024 shows positive progress on total employment in the trucking and logistics sector, the unemployment rate, and labour market tightness.
“While labour market pressures are easing for truck drivers for the time being, it is less the case for non-driving roles. That is why we continue advance workforce development solutions in anticipation of long-term labour challenges,” says Craig Faucette, Chief Program Officer, Trucking HR Canada. “Our labour market forecast out to 2030 confirms that demand will continue to significantly outpace supply and we could see as many as 40,400 vacancies in our sector by then.”
