http://www.stats.gov.nl.ca/statistics/Labour/PDF/UnempRate.pdf - 1 views

  •  
    I think unemployment rates are something we should all be aware of. This PDF is government research that shows the average unemployment rates in Canada and in each province from 1976-2013. Note that in most provinces in the 1900s, the unemployment rate increased dramatically. This is clearly shown in the highest increase of 20.1% in Newfoundland and Labrador in 1993. It is also interesting to see how provinces like Saskatchewan were not hit with unemployment nearly as bad. Why do you think that is?

      If you click this link and follow it to "Employment Patterns" you can see some statistics from last year regarding percentages in full time, part time work, employees vs. self-employed, and male and female percentages.

      Great article by Forbes indicating trends in 2014. This is a great way to see what type(s) of business would be good to start and which would probably do poorly in today's market.

Skills and training by the numbers - 0 views

  •  
    I found this article very interesting, even though it is just statistics. One stat that stayed with me is the ratio of guidance counsellors to students in Canadian high schools is 371:1. I was surprised at this ratio, considering that the decisions a student makes in high school will have a great affect on their postsecondary education, training, or occupation options.

College Majors - USA - 0 views

  •  
    "The World is Flat" chapter 6 reveals that less young people are interested in science compared to the 'race to land on the moon' era which is really interesting, This website offers statistics on the most occupied college majors and business is overwhelmingly #1. People seem to want to make as much money as they can and the university I went to (Laurier) was very business dominated - so much they are building their own business building across the street!

  •  
    The Canadian economy shed 11,000 jobs in August but the unemployment rate stayed the same at seven per cent, Statistics Canada reported Friday. The figure was much less than economists were expecting. The consensus was that the economy would eke out a slight gain of about 10,000 jobs.

Canadian Occupational Projection System (COPS) - 3 views

  •  
    I find this website very helpful. It is a tool to find quick information about projections of the demand of specific occupations in Canada. Under the heading "projection summaries" then "occupational summaries" you are able to search for occupations to find out about projections for the years 2013- 2022.
  •  
    I found this site very useful for seeing how an occupation will be affected in the short-term by people entering and leaving the job, by trends, and other statistics. Sorry for the duplication, I reviewed this site then the duplication was pointed out, I was not aware.

The closer you look, the weaker Canada's job market appears - 2 views

  •  
    While the unemployment rate may 'only' be at 7%, a more informed look at the statistics would reveal real Canadian struggle. 7% may seem low, but this stat does not include 'discouraged workers' in Canada (those who have given up on finding work and are no longer looking). And while the employment rate may appear to be at an all-time high, look closer and you find that most of those workers do NOT have full-time work, and the stats have climbed only because of the increase of women in paid roles in the last decades.
