In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

U.S. stock index futures fell, taking a cue from European and Asian
markets, as worries over global growth prospects and the outcome of
Greece’s private-sector bond swap later this week weigh on sentiment.
There is no U.S. economic data on the docket today.
European stocks dropped, with banks and resource stocks among the
`largest detractors. A report released this morning showed a 0.3% Q/Q
contraction in the euro-area economy in Q4, confirming an initial estimate
published on February 15. Large declines in investment, exports and
consumer spending were to blame for the overall GDP contraction. Also
weighing on investors was a memo from the Institute of International
Finance that warned that a disorderly default would cause the euro zone
more than 1 trillion euros ($1.36 trillion) in damage, Reuters reported. The
report also stated that a default would likely force Italy and Spain to seek
aid to prevent being engulfed in the region’s debt crisis.
Private investors that have declared their participation in Greece’s debt
restructuring hold about 20% of the bonds involved in a swap, the creditors’
stering committee said yesterday. The goal of the swap, which runs
through March 8, is to reduce the amount of privately-held Greek debt by
53.5% and help secure Greece’s second rescue package.
Asian stocks fell sharply, with miners among the top declines, following
global markets lower on growth concerns. The Hang Seng shed 2.2%,
while the Shanghai Composite fell 1.4%. Japan’s Nikkei gave up a more
modest 0.6%.
North American Market Highlights & Headlines
Aecon Group Inc. (ARE-T) reported a 143% increase in quarterly earnings
on Monday as margins improved on lower costs. Aecon reported EPS of
$0.49, up from $0.20 a year ago. Revenue in the quarter was $790 million,
down from $841 million, and well shy of the $859 million consensus
estimate. Aecon's backlog stood at $2.39 billion at December 31, 2011.

U.S. stock index futures are pointing to a lower open ahead of the Presidents' Day
holiday weekend. While the Dow eked out another record closing high on Thursday, the
S&P 500 and NASDAQ snapped a 7-day winning streak. Stocks have risen on the hope
President Donald Trump will cut taxes and regulations. Today, investors will continue to
watch for corporate earnings as the fourth-quarter earnings season comes to a close.
Asian markets closed lower, as Samsung Group shares were in focus following the
arrest of its chief. Jay Y. Lee was arrested early on Friday over his alleged role in a
corruption scandal that led parliament to impeach President Park. Tokyo's Nikkei Index
ended the session with a 0.58% loss. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index closed 0.31%
lower, while Shanghai's Stock Composite Index also finished with a loss of 0.86%.
European markets are mostly lower in afternoon trade, pausing for breath after a strong
rally at the start of the week, as investors digested economic data and more earnings
reports. The pan-European Stoxx 600 is trading approximately 0.35% lower with most
sectors in the red.
Company Headlines
Air Canada (AC-T) reported a bigger quarterly loss as the airline cut fares to fill seats in
long-haul leisure markets. Load factor, which measures how effectively the airline filled
seats, fell to 79.9% in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31 from 81.1% a year earlier. The
carrier’s fuel cost per litre rose 1.4%. However, the country’s largest airline said its
adjusted cost per available seat mile (CASM), excluding fuel costs and unusual items,
fell 6.1%. The company’s net loss widened to $179 million, or 66 cents per share, in the
latest quarter from $116 million, or 41 cents per share, a year earlier. The Montreal-
based airline’s revenue rose 7.6% to $3.43 billion.
Canadian energy infrastructure group Enbridge Inc. (ENB-T) has bought a 49.9% stake
in Hohe See, German company EnBW’s North Sea offshore wind park. Enbridge said it
had already funded its $1.7 billion investment through financing moves in the fourth
quarter of last year, primarily preferred share and hybrid instrument offerings. With a
planned capacity of about 500 megawatts (MW), Hohe See is one of Europe’s largest
offshore wind park projects and will be EnBW’s biggest park to date. EnBW said
Enbridge also had an option to participate in expansion project Albatros, for which an
investment decision is expected early this year.
CIBC's chief executive Victor Dodig said that Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce
(CM-T) and other financial institutions are in discussions to build a “sizeable” private-
sector fund offering long-term financing to high-growth businesses not served by
traditional lending or venture capital. The proposed Canadian Business Growth Fund
would be similar to one that exists in Great Britain, and would cater to growing
companies that “hit a wall” when funding is no longer available to them, he said in a
speech about trade and innovation delivered to the Canadian Club in Toronto.
