Statistics Canada to cut 850 jobs over next 2 years, 100 this week: memo
About 12% of Statistics Canada's executives will be affected as voluntary departure programs aim to limit involuntary job cuts amid federal public service reduction goals.
- This week, Statistics Canada said it plans to cut approximately 850 positions over the next two years, with 100 employees notified that their jobs are surplus.
- Facing federal staffing goals, the government directed that the 2025 federal budget aims to reduce the public service to 330,000 by 2028-29, with about 850 jobs cut over two years.
- Officials will rely on Voluntary Departure Program and Early Retirement Initiative to reduce involuntary cuts from a pool of approximately 3,200 employees, Statistics Canada spokesperson Carter Mann said.
- The adjustment period will affect about 12 per cent of Statistics Canada's executive team while headcount rose from 5,452 in 2019 to 7,274 in 2025.
- This month, several federal departments will notify public servants of potential job impacts as Statistics Canada says it remains focused on serving Canadians and adapting to future needs.
