Top 10 Best Careers, Attractions; and Employment Trends in Canada - Toronto, Ontario
96Yonge Street, a National Historic Site
Toronto is Huge!
-- not only in land-area size and population, but also in the vastness of its multiculturalism, business, tourist attractions, cultural opportunities, Chinatown, mega-bookstores...it is impossible to name them all outside of a large directory. Over 5,600,000 people live in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), with a little fewer than half of them living in the City of Toronto itself. This makes the population nearly three times that of my city and our streets are already so crowded that sometimes its faster to walk a mile than to drive it. I think one could stay lost in Toronto for several days.
Millions of tourists visit Toronto and its suburbs annually, while permanent residency is not increasing much (less than a single percent yearly).
A colleague of mine talked about his visits to Toronto often and described his favorite record shop - one he visited as often as he could take vacations. On his first visit, the moment he stepped in the doorway he knew he'd been there before, but he had not. Before proceeding into the shop, he knew every corner of it on its different levels and in different rooms. It was like magic for him. This shop was Sam The Record Man , which became a chain, delcined, and closed tis original large store in 2007. Photos around the Interent of the interior show that it looked exactly like one of the 5-and-10-cent stores in Columbus, Ohio, except that Sam's was completely filled with records and musical items.
Another friend takes vacations from work to spend many long weekends in Toronto's Chinatown, her favorite spot and the site of many festivals.
With all the hurry to get to good times in Toronto, why is it not on the Top 10 Best Places to Live list produced by MoneySense each year? It seems that "Everyone" wants to go have fun in Toronto, but the city usualy does not make the Top 10 Best Places to Work, Live, or Retire. it is a bit like Blade Runner's (1982) frenetic supercity of a futuristic 2019.
The 4th Most Livable City in the World
MoneySense uses a differetnt set of criteria for choosing its choice cities -- The Economist magazine awards Toronto the fourth-place standing in its Top 10 Most Livable Cities in the World roundup for 2010.
Criteria for selection to this list include a significant availability of goods and services, low overall personal risk, and a well-maintained, updated infrastructure. The threat of terrorism is considered low in these cities as well. However, The Economist chooses largely English-speaking cities and this has drawn criticism from media outlets.
On MoneySense's list of best places to live in Canada, Toronto is Number 79 out of 154 in 2010. Statistically, is the surrounding suburbs are subtracted, then Toronto drops to #85.
Elements that lower Toronto's ranking for MoneySense:
Unemployment rate:
- Victoria BC (#1) - 3.3%
- Toronto ON (#79 or 85) - 7.6%
Number of Days yearly befow 0oC:
- Victoria - 53
- Toronto - 148
Violent Crimes per 100,000 population:
- Victoria - 859
- Toronto - 968
Number of Homeless per 100.000 population:
- Victoria - 1.2
- Toronto - 3.6
Population Growth from 2001 - 2006:
- Victoria - 5.80%
- Toronto - 0.88%
The cost of housing also takes up, on average, a larger proportion of household income than it does in many other Canadian cities.
Revitalization of Downtown Toronto: CABBAGETOWN
The Cabbagetown Preservation Association has operated successfuly since 1988. Its mission is to preserve the historical landmarks of this region at the east end of Downtown Toronto. This includes architectural integrity of the neighborhood in an official Heritage Conservation District. Revitalization of urban areas and other neighboroods of Toronto is important to residents, visitors, and business enterprises in that ongoing development and preservation increases economic growth and improves ways of life.
A great many activities are ongoing in Cabbagetown. These include the annual Forsythia Festival each May, Cabagetown Festival every September, and productions of the Toronto Dance Theatre and School, the Danny Grossman Dance Company, Canadian Children’s Dance Theatre, and TILT Sound + Motion. The Annual Cabbagetown Short Film & Video Festival is also a treat here.

MoneySense's Best Places to Live 2010
- Ottawa-Gatineau ON
- Kingston ON
- Burlington ON
- Fredericton NB
- Moncton NB
- Repentigny QC
- Brandon MB
- Victoria BC
- Winnipeg MB - also on Work list
- Lévis QC - also on Work list
MoneySense's Best Places to Work for 2010:
- Calgary AB
- Brooks AB
- Cold Lake AB
- Grande Prairie AB
- Edmonton AB
- Estevan SK
- Levis QC
- [missing from the pubished list]
- Winnipeg MB
- Red Deer AB
.
We see that the top 5 cities for work are all in Alberta, along with #10, Red Deer. Manitoba is a great place to be!
For example, MoneySense reports that Brooks MB allows an average family income of $90,000 a year within a very low 2.7% Unemployment Rate. With low unemployment, companies are having difficulties filling job vacancies and thus, these jobs are high-demand. The average cost of a house is low compared to other cities in Canada. Specifically, MoneySense points to Montreal, where in July 2010, the magazine analysts found an average home cost of $315,000 with an average annual income of only about $56,000, far less than in Brooks, Manitoba. Higher income and stronger buying power make a draw for migration to the province, but at a trade off to the cold weather experienced in Manitoba.
MoneySense's Best Places to Retire in Canada for 2010
- Kingston ON
- Ottawa-Gatineau ON
- Vancouver BC
- London ON
- Courtenay BC
- Vernon BC
- Cobourg ON
- Joliette QC
- [not listed in published data]
- Salmon Arm BC
All of these locations or in Ontario (4) or British Columbia (4), except for Joliette. Ontario is MoneySense's top pick for best province for retirement.

Great hub. I haven't been to Canada but my sister lives in Alberta. Canada is an open country and countless people are migrating to the place in droves. My sister says, Canada is a lovely place to live in and people are friendly too. Hope I could go there too one day to join her.
Looks and sounds a great place. I would love to visit. One of these days just maybe.........
Thank you for a lot of great information. I have loved Ontario since my first visit over 40 years. Toronto is a beautiful city and I could easily spend years there. Great article.
AWESOME NUB Patty. Extremely Informative and educational. Your photos are fanastic. I visited Toronto many years ago and loved the city. My Wife and I visited a historic Catholic Church and attended Mass there, but can't remember the name of the church However is was just beautiful. My first to see and visit there Underground Mall.
Another great hub. I am going to add this as another place to visit list. Great review.

This is really cool! I like those pictures taken from Canada they are beautiful places to go...
I found this article to be very interesting and greatly enjoyed reading it. Thanks!
Fabulous photos and great info.
Thanks for the flashback, I lived outside of Toronto and commuted in daily for many years. Now I live in Victoria BC and love the slower pace. I was in Toronto around the time the Scarborough Rapist was on the loose - Paul Bernardo.... yikes... but I will always remember it as a place that has so many different cultural experiences, restaurants and concerts...
This is a great hub I definitely learned more about Toronto and more about how to set up a well organized page, such a great example for me!
Wow, Toronto, hope one day I have the chance to visit the city. Thanks for your sharing.
i love how you showed people how great canada is. many people don't really understand just what we are about. great hub.
Sam the Record Man was a great store, I spent many happy hours in that store...
Wonderful hub on the city I grew up in.

Hey Patti, thank you for a great introduction to Toronto. Yonge Street sounds like a fun drive while playing Gordon Lightfoot's "On Yonge Street." =:)
Awesome, voted you up and followed you. I am a Canadian living in the Philippines. Toronto is a great city. What you did no mention is the high cost of living. Nice website...I mean Hubpage lol.
Well researched.
Very informative hub! I liked it.
What a great job! Thank you so much for your hard work on this.

How about hospitality sales careers. You start entry level in almost any city at 40-60K and advance quickly to sales director and General Manager Jobs. Lots of jobs posted at www.hcareers.com and you can get started quick at ecornell.com or with an on-line certificate from www.aprinda.com
cool toronto is pretty similar to manahattan and istanbul hey?
Minneapolis / St Paul area doesn't have this kind of fabulousness. I want to be out of this flyover zone that I live in.
Wow, Great hub I like those beautiful pictures taken from Toronto Canada! hope to be there soon....
Yeah there are a lot of beautiful places in Canada. Tourist won't be sorry when they visit the country because there's a lot of things that you can do and see here. The photos are great. Thanks. And good luck to your Hubpages.
This would be great for couple of friends of mine.
I thought I would take a cursory glance at this hub, but once I started reading I couldn't stop until I got to the end. A lot of intelligent good quality work is here to take on board. Brilliant.
This was a really informative Hub, and I have to commend you on your great utilization of graphic and text content. You were able to mesh them well without having them be to over bearing for the reader. I really enjoyed reading this post. Great Job!!!
As I am planning to go for Canada, this will be really informative. It's quite hard to get job in such a big country, if something is known earlier it would be good for me only.
great hub
I have been to toronto , definitely one of the best cities in the world.
Love canada, thanks, I haven't been there for 25 years. This reminded me how beautiful it is and I need to go back.
Good hub love the content.
I wish I can visit Toronto
I'm from Vancouver but still found this a really interesting read. Thanks!
i used to live in Mississauga which is right outside of toronto. I think people would be surprised to see how many beautiful things are in Toronto (not just the CN tower, although that pretty cool). My favorite is the steam whistle factory right below the CN tower. It used to be a old train station and its an amazing place to see
A real excellent review of Toronto! I love your hub, thanks.
Looks beautiful there, I read that Gun violence in Canada usually measures into the single and double digits. While here in the States, we're talking into the 10k area. In some areas people up there don't feel a need what-so-ever to lock their doors. I would love it up there.
hope one day i move to canada............i love that country...its awesome...........lots of challenges...ty for your lovely edition on this space..
A real excellent review of Toronto! I love your hub, thanks.
Excellent Hub! Very well done!
I visited Canada 30 years ago is beautiful Country.
Good hub very well
Well presented.. great job
Not only is Toronto huge but it's a great place to live. I've been there many times and each experience has been better than the last.
It is a very interesting hub. Keep on posting more! Thank you.
Very detailed post! I agree with above poster! I have bookmarked your hub!
Goof hub!!!!!
The hub is important and useful for job aspirants, as it depicts incredibly valuable information about career trends. It will help in planning and constructing good choice for an excellent career building process. Thanks a lot for compiling such a wonderful peace of text.
Great work Patty. The best place for me to live is by the ocean and where there is an internet connection ;-)
Nice Hub...I love Canada and Toronto! This hub is very resourceful especially when it comes to planning my next trip...
great hub, thank you!
Wonderful places. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful places. Ill visit it
With Toronto AND Vancouver, how does Canada get it so right so often? Next time we have to vote for a London Mayor I want a Canadian!
I lived in Toronto for 40 years, the last ten downtown, a gr8 place to visit.
I've been to alot of different places all over North America and TORONTO is my favorite city!
So far, I only hear good reviews about places in Canada and the more I wish of getting there if I can have the chance!
Great hub. I'm actually going to Canada and thinking about stopping into Toronto so this gives me a guide so I can hit all the right spots.
Wonderful hub! It's making me appreciate the city I live in even more :)
It would appear that in my on-line travels, Canadians are all over the place, why is that?
I'm Torontonian, currently living in Italy. This hub makes me miss home!
Dear patty, Thank you for providing such good article. i have bookmarked it. Thumbs up!
Great stuff... Thanx. I have not been to Canada but my elder brother lives in Vancouver. Great pics.
An Eye Opner
Lots of great info and good matching of images (y)
Thanks for post, i like city Toronto.
I hope next summer come to Canada and visit this place
Toronto wasn't included as one of the best places to live?? Oh, wait... our transit system. Right.
Great hub on my hometown! I think Torontonians are notorious for complaining about our city more than anything else....sure the transit isn't necessarily world class, sure the city leadership can be questionable at time, but overall I think we've got one of the best cities in the world. Now if only we could do something about this weather....
Great top ten list!
I like the way you have catered for the higher & lower end workers from Receptionist $26,330 to Project Manager $89,784. Nicely done & a great resource!
Very presentable. I will give it a trial
Enjoyed reading your hub. Great tips for people planning to move to Toronto.
I love Toronto. Thanks for bringing me there again. Excellent hub.
Great Hub. I have heard great things about all of these places. I would love to be able to visit any of these! Someday...
Thanks for this info. it is helpful to me.
Interesting and educational. Makes me ponder a bit more about my life and future :) thanks :)
Great, tremendously in-depth hub, Patty! You absolutely rock at these kinds of articles.
I did a little, "Yay!" to see London in the #4 spot for retirement. As I'm already there, I won't have far to go when I reach that stage. :)
Anyone in the finance or IT field probably wouldn't have too much trouble finding work in T.O. Bay St. is our version of Wall St., so the stock exchange is there, along with corporate offices of the major banks.
The living is very expensive but it's a really interesting city. You should come and visit sometime! ;)
What a great job! Thank you so much for your hard work on this
Thanks for bring back all of my great memories of toronto. I have not been there in 30 years.
This is a great topic for a hub and extremely helpful to local people. thanks!
I'm really a fan of Toronto ever since Dr. Richard Florida and his Creative Class website moved there--great article. Love the multicultural natur of Toronto. It could be a model article for many trying to write som'n for their city.
this is a very nice hub
Patty, I am a New Yorker and will probably be arrested for saying that I've always been curious about living in Toronto; I have a Quebequois friend who lives there now and loves it because it offers so much but is in many ways easier going than NY. Thanks for this hub...
You write very sincerely
This is the most beautiful hubs I have ever seen.
Women incomes now a days are getting better than men.
"Top 10 Best Careers and Employment in Canada Toronto-Ontario"
The hub is rich in content, comparative in data collection, critical in analysis, true in appreciation and fair in subject selection. Simple, serene and yet stylish and attractive. The hub gives food for thought that to work in a way that is of use to others is the real work and never goes unnoticed and unappreciated. The hub is up by all standards. Those living in Canada- Toranto Ontario have been introduced to the world so nicely.
May God bless all every where.
Highly descriptive article. Rated up.
This sure is a great Hub..Awesome work!
