New polling suggests 72 per cent of working Canadians intend to stay at their current job over the next year, while younger employees are far more likely to seek a change.

The latest poll from Nanos Research, commissioned by CTV News, asked more than 1,000 Canadians a variety of questions regarding their work status.

Fifteen per cent of employed respondents were expecting to look for a new job in the next 12 months. For younger Canadians it was higher at 24 per cent; for those aged 55 and over, only two per cent wanted to switch. Of those looking for a new job, 41 per cent said they wanted better pay, while 28 per cent no longer liked their employer. Another 21 per cent said they didn’t want to work in-person at the workplace.

When divided by region, 21.7 per cent of respondents in Ontario expected to try for a job change, while 10.4 per cent of respondents in Quebec were hoping to work less in 2022. When it comes to overall work status during the pandemic, six per cent of respondents were employed before the pandemic and are unemployed now, 18 per cent were not actively looking for work before the pandemic and nothing has changed, and 57 per cent were working before the pandemic and are working now.

When broken down by age, the 18-34 demographic was least likely to say they never take a sick day , while the 55-plus demographic was most likely to say they never take a sick day . Respondents from Atlantic Canada were most likely to say they always take a sick day when they need it, while those in Quebec were most likely to say they never take a sick day.

By early next week, all air travellers to U.S. will require COVID test within last 24 hoursBy early next week, President Joe Biden is slashing the current 72\u002Dhour testing window for fully vaccinated travellers down to no later than the day before Bahaha, so much for get vaxed so we can get back to 'normal'. Now what's your carrot? Get vaxed or be confined to your house? You have a choice as long as you choose what they want. Hilarious. Conspiracy theory not looking so theoretical now. This actually makes sense. Since it's an easy test you can get at the airport and have results texted to you in 20 min, why not? Canada should do the same. PCR or rapid antigen? Good luck finding a PCR test with that turnaround and not paying through the nose.

'We're sick of being in pain': Suicide still devastating NunavutThe COVID-19 pandemic, the recent water crisis in Iqaluit and the decades-long housing, health and mental health crises are all factors contributing to Nunavut's ongoing suicide epidemic. Canada has a responsibility to provide more help, especially housing, the unbelievably high cost of food, and with clean water. Stop playing politics and meet these needs! That's what Reconciliation requires. Thanks to for covering this. Thoughts and beliefs hurt deeply, and we tend to hold onto pain. Looking at family systems and friendship networks, helping build and strengthen intimacy and connection is key. Societal injustice contributes to pain - Medical systems need to do better. I'm truly sorry :(
