Unpacking Canada's Confusing Job Market
Manage episode 377396895 series 3425736
Canada’s job market is confusing right now. On one hand, unemployment is still near record lows, last month’s job numbers from StatsCan exceeded expectations, and wages are finally starting to increase faster than inflation.

Brendon Bernard is the Senior Economist at Indeed.com, and he’s back on the pod to unpack what's going on in Canada's job market and what it means for workers and businesses.
