Montreal boasts some of the best employers in the country. A dozen local companies made it into the 2023 ranking of Canada's Top 100 Employers, across fields like aviation, engineering, tech, finance and manufacturing. Many also stood out as top employers for young people. Internship opportunities were a primary consideration, along with opportunities for professional development.

Each company was judged according to the physical workplace, work atmosphere, health, financial and family benefits, vacation and time off, employee communications, performance management, training and skills development, and community involvement. Employers were compared to other organizations in their field to find the most "progressive and forward-thinking" programs.
