As unemployment climbs, the promise of a grocery store job lures hundreds … from the 3rd World

The ethnic composition of this job lineup indicates Canada desperately needs more unskilled 3rd World labour.

Not long ago, Casey McLaughlin was executive director of the Yukon Transportation Museum in Whitehorse, but earlier this month she found herself lining up with hundreds of others at a job fair in Ottawa, vying for a coveted position at a new Food Basics grocery store.

“I’m willing to go from being a boss to shelving vegetables because you have to pay the bills,” she said. “It’s really hard to find a job in Ottawa right now.”

Nafisa Ijie also attended the job fair at a hotel in Barrhaven, despite having a master’s degree and experience working as a business analyst in Nigeria and England.
