While there’s no easy solution to labor shortages in Canada, the issue faced by many developed economies won’t disappear without policymakers’ help, writes sharonlamhk:
Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem said on Jan. 26 that the central bank would soon start raising the policy interest rate from a record low of 0.25% to curb inflation. Canadian rate-setters’ next policy meeting will be held on March 2.
The Canadian economy shed 200,100 jobs in January, Statistics Canada said on Feb 4. The unemployment rate rose 0.5 percentage points to 6.5%, the first increase since April 2021, as an Omicron-driven wave of Covid-19 infections peaked. Canada’s labor force participation rate among the population 15 years of age and older fell 0.4 percentage points to 65% in January.FILE PHOTO: Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem speaks during a news conference in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada December 15, 2021.
