Episode 96 - Global Job Market Face-Off: Canada, US, and South Africa Compared LinkedIn
How do the job markets in Canada, the US, and South Africa really stack up against each other? The numbers are in...and they tell three very different stories.
In this episode of Talent Titans, Suky is diving deep into the latest employment data from Canada, the United States, and South Africa, ahead of the summit in October, analyzing the stark differences and shared challenges in their labor markets. With new info from recent reports, including August 2025 job stats from North America and Q2 data from South Africa, we uncover surprising trends in part-time employment, youth unemployment, and the shifting strategies of businesses across the globe.
Plus, for South African companies eyeing international expansion, this episode offers a compelling case for why North America, despite recent slowdowns, remains a golden opportunity.

I'm Suky an adrenaline junkie who celebrates every single win. I believe we must celebrate and collect all our wins along the way as it fuels forward momentum to ensure we exceed our goals. When we fuel forward momentum, complacency simply can not settle in.
With over 25 years of experience working in the staffing industry, 16 of those working with global recruitment companies, I bring the knowledge and experience of working in 18 countries and successfully navigating through numerous "recession" cycles.
Companies often get so focused on the bottom line that they forget that we are in the "people business". For me, the magic happens when my clients recognize the best way to create a truly sustainable high-performance sales culture is to align both.
