“Overall, Canada’s jobs market suffered the biggest setback in almost three years, shedding 54,000 jobs overall — all full-time and concentrated in Ontario’s manufacturing and construction industries.”
“Ontario shed 75,400 full-time jobs in October but gained 36,600 part-time jobs, Statistics Canada reported. That pushed the province’s unemployment rate up to 8.1 per cent — surpassing the national rate of 7.3 per cent.”
“Canada is not only losing manufacturing, it is also losing jobs in high tech. What would be left over to Canadian are jobs in mining and its natural resources and the jobs secured by crown corporations. They are usually overpaid like Ontario Hydro and Hydro One.”
