Job vacancies in Canada have doubled so far in 2021 and COVID-19 vaccine mandates can make filling those jobs harder.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government adopted one of the strictest inoculation policies in the world for civil servants and has already put more than 1,000 workers on unpaid leave, with thousands more at risk.

“It’s already difficult to find staff, let alone putting in a vaccine mandate. You’d cut out potentially another 20%” of potential workers, said Dan Kelly, chief executive of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. “I don’t know that I want to reduce the [labor] pool, which is already quite low,” said Eiser. “We need to attract people to meet the demand. If we don’t, our competitors will.”

In Canada, 86% of adults are fully inoculated, though that drops under 80% among 18- to 40-year-olds. At least 15 cases of the new Omicron variant in Canada have been reported in the past week. In the hard-hit manufacturing sector, where 77% of firms say their top concern is attracting and retaining workers, vaccine mandates are more rare.
