When we have articles about how highschool and university students can’t find jobs and construction companies are laying people off, I’d like to know what labour shortages we have outside of healthcare.

under the table jobs. It states in the article that one woman is working 2 jobs BUT she can’t get healthcare or benefits…thus under the table. Because if you can’t get on ohip it’s painfully obvious whats lacking as virtually anyone can get on it. so she’s not paying taxes, she’s doesn’t have a SIN, she’s working 2 cash jobs.

That’s where the “labour shortage” is. I mean go on Kijiji and look at the jobs section. most of the ads are “immigrants” looking for cash jobs, not actual employers hiring.

It never goes into detail about the jobs they can’t find… what is the barrier they are dealing with? Experience? Expectations too high?

Anecdotal i know but… my brother in law is on the job hunt and there’s loads of potential employers calling him back for construction work, entry level jobs in garages, hotels looking to staff up in the summer, etc. He’s working on getting his work permit sorted so he’s not able to take the job offers yet… certainly seeing a lot though.
