Ontario leads Canada to best jobs rate in over a decade!!!

Holy shit, this forum got really good all of a sudden.

Like people are actually making sense and stuff..

Trudeau jobs bad....Trump jobs good.

Wonder what's happening over at Carrier in Indiana?

Laid-off Carrier worker Quinton Franklin: "I honestly thought that my job had been saved... That turned out to be a lie. So I definitely feel betrayed and defeated..."

Poor fella....

Ouch. Thats a kick in the nards to Trumpites. Not only do they support a man with socialist tendencies but he cant even save a few jobs with 7 million dollars.

I think we have a consensus. The rock bangers hate Trudeau, Wynne, and Ontario so much they'd rather have Canadians unemployed than any good news for Trudeau, Wynne, and Ontario.

It says the unemployment rate dropped 4 tenths of one percent to 5.9. YOu have not done your due diligence.

Shoddy work, Walter.

Yeah, if only this was compared to previous holiday rushes, like over the past ten years or something. Then we'd know for sure if this was just an every year thing.

We'll know come January/February. It's not how many jobs are created during the holiday bump, it's how many are still around afterwards that matters. Particularly when you consider that the minimum wage in Ontario will be increasing by almost $2.50/hr in another month. And more importantly, will those remaining jobs provide an actual living wage or just be more minimum rage nonsense?

Yes, this entire year has been one big holiday. :lol:

Wait, more jobs AND higher salaries?


The November survey also found that, compared with the year before, average hourly wages grew 2.8 per cent for the biggest increase since April 2016.

And let's see. For those in the lower economic classes who rent, that 2.8% basically equates to what their annual rental increase is. So, while those people aren't getting farther behind, they're really no better off than they were last year.

For example, someone already making $15/hr before the average increase and paying $900/mo for rent would have seen their monthly gross income increase from $2400/mo to $2467/mo.
Their rent meanwhile increasing at pretty much the same rate would see it increase by $25/mo. This translates into a before tax increase in their monthly income of $42/mo. Not exactly earth-shattering news if one is capable of even the most basic of math.
Keep in mind also that the 2.8% average increase in hourly wages does not include those on a salary. Salaries are salaries. Wages are wages.

Yes, this entire year has been one big holiday. :lol:

Especially when you only cherry-pick post the months when jobs gained, without caring whether or not they're full-time or permanent.

Well look at you go. Trumpites getting all teary-eyed for the lower classes. I wonder how long it'll be before they start quoting Marx

No, I'm going by an entire year of GDP growth and jobs that Harper never dreamed of seeing.

Guess he was too busy looking for his pants in the janitor room.

That is called concern trolling.

It's really obvious too!
