Job seekers beware: if you’re looking for work in Ontario, hunker down for a long wait. And if you’re lucky enough to snag something, get ready to work for the bare minimum.

Ontario now boasts the highest proportion of minimum wage workers in Canada and one of the worst rates of long-term unemployment in the country, according to a new report by an anti-poverty coalition representing 90 community and labour organizations across the province.

“Today, Ontario has slid to the bottom of the country, or near it, on key labour force measures,” says the study by the Ontario Common Front


 Quote:

The report shows that Ontarians now pay more for health-care expenses than any other province. Funding per student for post-secondary education is the lowest in the country. Wait times for affordable housing and long-term care are the longest nationwide, and child-care costs are the highest.

According to the study, the province has lost almost 318,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000, resulting in a shift to typically low-wage, non-unionized work like retail jobs. Simultaneously, the report finds that almost 12 per cent of the Ontario workforce is now being paid minimum wage, currently set at $11.25. That’s the highest proportion in Canada, which has a national average of around 7 per cent.

Stop electing governments that tax and spend. Start electing governments whom's primary concern is to make Ontario the center of Canadian economy once more.

Simple case: Why be so worried about sex education in elementary schools when you won't have enough money to put clothes on your kids back?

Thing is Hudak said he was going to chop 100k jobs from the bloated public service. People didn't want to hear it was necessary to go back to 2009 levels.
We don't really have good choices either. Either the corrupt liberals with scandal after scandal, or the conservatives who favour large corporations and the concentration of wealth.

Well, you never get elected by telling people you're going to fire them. Hudak was being an idiot! That's also why he's no longer the leader.

But right now, we've got a corrupt and incompetant government that's burning billions. Just like Canada was sick of Harper's decade long bullshit, Ontario is really sick of the Liberals bullshit too.

If the conservatives can get a better leader than Brown, whom I don't think is up to the task, they'll be in. Ontario may repeat the 1990 election next time and simply say no to both Liberals and Conservatives. I may have to toss my vote to the NDP in disgust of the 2 main parties!

Reddit or even this board is a very poor sampling of the population. So far I've been hearing a lot of "Buyers remorse" from media outlets in regards to Horse Face.

This sort of implies that the people who voted for her because they were afraid of Hudak are now regretting their decision.

That's sort of the thing with the Ont. Liberals: They say on thing and then do another.

Agreed. I could've went to Silicon Valley myself but I had an "in" that's hard to beat. Even in Silicon Valley.

Now I do mention that I have a mid-range 6 figure salary for my manager's position. But here's the thing: It's not that much higher than the six figure salaries our programmers get.

If we can stop thinking of ourselves as low-end blue collar ressource economy, we can have a more complete economy. I'm not talking about shifting all the efforts to a new sector, I'm talking about hedging your bets. When you have strengths in other areas of the economy, you're better able to survive when one sector tanks. America has that... we don't!
