DCEC
Find out what the DCEC accomplished in 2019
96% of the Health Care and Social Assistance related businesses surveyed in this year's EmployerOne Survey hired in 2019. That represented a total of 1,732 hires. Find out what this sector had to say about hiring, retention recruiting and more in our first Industry Insights from the 2020 EmployerOne Survey. Click the button below to see those results

The EmployerOne Survey is conducted annually from January 2 to 31 and the first 2 pages of this release are reflective of the answers in that period. With the on-set of the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to collect further data from businesses to determine how COVID-19 had changed their workforces. 22 Health Care and Social Assistance employers gave us an update and those results are also included in this presentation.

Watch for our Manufacturing Sector Industry Insights in the coming weeks.
