133. Labor Analysis - Canada
• Employment – All I see from your comments is opinion and no facts.
It seems you call me a troll, right? The only reason people call me a
troll is they cannot defend their opinion with facts, right? Let me
crunch a few things based on the below links –
• Since 2010 there has been 722K full-time jobs and 118K part-time jobs
created in Canada. So, 86% of the new jobs are full-time. So, where is the 80%
number you quoting coming from in terms of its accuracy?
• The main sector of growth are the following sectors
• Accommodation/food services approximately 98K
• Healthcare approximately 249K – this ties to more money being spent on healthcare by
provinces to support need for additional services
• Professional jobs approximately 170K
• Construction approximately 220K – does this not benefit skill trades and tied to the
housing market being solid in Canada
