The decline was led by youth aged 15 to 24 years old, with a drop of 47,000.

It's like we're dead set on radicalizing our youth. :(

It's ok, Boomers still have all the money.

Hopefully we'll get an alternative voice to PP who can talk to young Canadians when the NDP leadership election is done. One that would offer them believable material improvements.

Fingers crossed. But I'm not holding my breath.

Skepticism is super warranted. Skepticism of the mind, optimism of the will!

I'm hoping for Ashton, I think him being a worker will bring some actual legitimacy to a labour party. Unfortunately we'll probably get Lewis who seems about the same as Singh.

I voted Rob first, Avi second. I think while Avi looks Singh-like at first glance, is very different ideologically and when examined in detail or listened to. But if he's elected leader, he must convince you of that himself.

Instead of this number, I wish we used something more comprehensive, like total hours worked, average income/wage and labour participation rate.

The current metric only counts those looking for work.

Rooommate of mine works in a theatre. She had her hours cut to a single shift a week because they just hired sixteen new people.

Reductions of hours like that should be criminal, how the hell is she expected to pay rent?

I'm very confused by why it says 84k lost, but then it says 100k full time were lost. then wouldn't the job losses be at least 100k?

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago

I think they are talking about gross losses in one number, the total is net I believe.

Not if part time jobs increased.
