Young people are struggling in the labour market for two main reasons: high immigration and high minimum wages
Young people have borne the brunt of the recent deterioration in Canada’s labour market. Youth unemployment usually runs at about twice the rate for adults, reflecting young workers’ lower productivity and inexperience at searching for a job. But now it’s nearly three times the rate for adults, which puts it at “crisis levels” according to some commentators.
The likely cause of this crisis? Government programs that have raised the minimum wage and sharply increased the supply of low-skilled foreign workers.
Our Titans of Industry, our so called “Business leaders” demanded and received more cheap foreign labour than was ever needed with no questions asked from the Liberal government.
They sold us out, all of us.
