News Analysis

Strength in Canada’s labour market is down to educated women, while less educated men are falling behind, according to a new study by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI) that encourages policy-makers to look beyond the headline national statistics to help foster more inclusive job growth.
Stagnant wages and an increasing divide between urban and rural labour markets are other red flags identified in the report “Forgotten People and Forgotten Places: Canada’s Economic Performance in the Age of Populism.”
