Abstract

This paper assesses recent Canadian labour market outcomes and compares Canada's performance to that experienced in other industrialized countries. The focus is on three key dimensions: employment, unemployment, and the structure of earnings. Particular attention is devoted to the hypothesis that rising unemployment and widening earnings inequality are principally due to a relative shift in demand towards the skilled and away from the less skilled.
