The 10 most in-demand jobs in Canada

No. 3: Cyber Security Specialists

Cyber security specialists protect information on computer networks, cloud servers, mobile devices, and payment software. They analyse and predict where risks are and, most importantly, develop strategies to prevent data breaches.

With more people working from home, more information — from employee information to meeting details — has to be posted online, Pan says. “People are worried about security.”

The average pay per year for cyber security specialists in Canada is $87,728.
