What are we going to do with all of these jobs?

Canada adds 79,000 jobs in December, pushing jobless rate to lowest level since 1976

Canada added 79,000 jobs last month, blowing past expectations and pushing the jobless rate to its lowest level since 1976.

The jobless rate was pushed down two-tenths of a percentage point to 5.7 per cent, Statistics Canada reported Friday.

That's the lowest on record since comparable data became available 42 years ago.

Economists polled by Bloomberg were expecting a flat showing, with about 2,000 jobs added. Every province added jobs during the month, but more than half of the new jobs came in Alberta and Quebec, with each adding more than 26,000 jobs.

"Quebec was probably the most compelling story throughout the year, with job growth running strong and the unemployment rate plunging to a record low [of 4.9 per cent]," Bank of Montreal economist Robert Kavcic noted in a report to clients.

If the government must borrow and spend, then spend that money on trades and professional education for the unemployed. That way, when the government must eventually tax and cut to pay down the debt, workers will have the skills to keep on working even if it might result in a drop in profits. At least they'll still be working.

If we just waste that money, then is there any solid foundation under this growth? Do these new workers possess the skills necessary to keep some kind of employment when things get tough later?

That's my concern., that there is no foundation under this growth. Again, if the government must borrow and spend, then let's invest that money to prepare unskilled workers for the tough times ahead, and that will come with education.

More jobs bring better outcome to the community. Very good indeed. Let people work and live.
And increase the minimum wage .. excellent; a good man is this Trudeau, but only he has not supported the Palestinian and he has yielded to Trump the Zionist.

The beauty of 2017 is the full time job growth. 2016 was over half part time jobs I think but 2017 is like 90% full time jobs created. In Nov there were something like 390K new full time jobs and with 22k more in december that should be over 400K new full time jobs.
