2023 Job Market & Employment Survey Results

A total of 3,840 members responded to CDHA’s 2023 Job Market & Employment Survey in the spring. In early October, we released the executive summary, full report, and provincial and territorial segmentations. If you haven’t already done so, review the key findings today in English or French, including national and provincial trends in employment and compensation, practice environments, job satisfaction, and more. While anyone can view the executive summary, you will need to log into your CDHA member profile to view the detailed reports.
