By Daisy Wright. Randstad Canada surveyed employees in 33 countries around the world, and one in three Canadians believe their jobs could vanish in a few years due to the rise of technology. “The jobs of tomorrow are on the drawing boards of today – being aware that innovation is occurring and making the effort to understand and grow with those innovations will help you grow and maintain your career,” says Tom Turpin, president of Randstad Canada.
