Toronto's Number of Tech Jobs DoubleS in 5 Years - PlanetWeb.ca

A total of around 60,000 people were employed in the tech sector in the city of Toronto in 2019. That’s 16.6% increase from 2018. If you compare the tech jobs’ employment to 2014 for example, the IT sector in the City of Toronto has almost doubled.

Looking at the research, you can see that these companies choose to locate in Toronto because Toronto is a tech centre that offers a diversity of education and culture that builds successful organizations.

Mayor of Toronto

John Tory, Mayor of Toronto, has said most companies choose to pick downtown for their location but some expand and open offices in North York, Etobicoke, etc.

Taking a look at the broader results of the survey, it is clear that Toronto has a competitive, diverse and connected economy – an economy that is the economic engine of all of Canada – and I am committed to protecting that economy and protecting our city’s success.

Tory said he was happy with the numbers but more must be done when it comes to access to opportunities in some neighborhoods in Toronto, as well as, improving transit around the city.
