Canadian public sector jobs increased by 13 percent during the COVID-19 pandemic and the following recovery while the private sector saw just 3.6 percent growth, says a new report.
“Canada’s net job creation in recent years has been disproportionately driven by growth in government employment rather than growth in the private sector,” said Ben Eisen, Fraser Institute senior fellow and co-author of the report, in an Oct. 22 news release.
