In 2021, the Toronto Employment Survey recorded 1,451,520 jobs citywide, an increase of 1,610 jobs or 0.1% from 2020. Toronto's economy experienced limited recovery in 2021, following the record-breaking job losses of 2020 due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, employment increases were observed in Institutional (0.9%) and Office (0.7%) categories, while Manufacturing as well as Service employment declined by the highest rates, both at 1.7%. The Survey counted 69,990 business establishments in 2021, a net decrease of 3,090 establishments (-4.2%) from 2020. In 2021, 820 establishments were new to the City. The Survey results from the last two years are indicative of employment trends during the COVID-19 pandemic and are a key benchmark of the economic trends over the period. Due to data collection challenges related to the pandemic, the Survey results may not have fully captured the extent of economic impacts over the period. It is anticipated that Survey coverage and completeness will improve in 2022 with the return to field survey work.
