Job tenure of employed people by province

How long employed people aged 15 and over had been with their current employer in 2025: under 1 year, 1–5, 5–10, 10–20, and 20 years or more (the five bands add to 100% within rounding), plus average tenure in months as published. Band shares are derived by Quadranac from Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey counts (in thousands). Territories are not in this table.
