comprehension failure on your part: the graph image has nothing to do with employment;
Yes, I know that GDP doesn't represent employment, so your post wasn't very relevant to my post, and it is still 2 years old.
I note you ignore all the points I provided that highlight your lacking analysis; which, again:
- doesn't factor the volatility of month-to-month job stats. Point in fact is November employment stats (for Canada) were significantly down as compared to October - yet 2019 is the strongest year for overall job growth in decades.
Not for Alberta.
(Read my post for the facts you missed. I'm not repeating the data for you.)
And, of course, doesn't speak to longer-term trends within Alberta to allow for a meaningful understanding of the degree of longer-term employment.
I addressed only current unemployment rates.
If the rest interests you, look it up, post it and let us know.
- doesn't recognize that the age range being highlighted is for ages of boys/men between 15-24 years of age
Yes it did. (Read my post.)
-doesn't address types of jobs and numbers of jobs... and skills... associated with unemployed male Albertans. Quite obviously, the typical types of jobs for teens (half of that age range) are not particularly skilled and invariably align with service/retail type positions. Clearly these are not the kind of transferable "uprooting leave Alberta" jobs that you presume to be lined-up and waiting for unemployed male Albertans in other parts of Canada.
- doesn't speak to programs & initiatives within the province of Alberta (IF ANY) to address retraining options within the province itself. And more pointedly doesn't put any onus on justVisitingJason to recognize his budget aligned mega job-cut strategy balanced against a $4 billion tax cut for corporations won't cut it for new job growth opportunities. Most pointedly justVisitingJason's 'hat-in-hand' beggarman ploy is failed - the rest of Canada can't seem to rise to the occasion for the richest province that insists on having the lowest taxes for its populace while refusing to implement a sales tax!
- doesn't speak to the reality... or the stereotype of young uneducated male Albertans who chose to leave school and head to the 'patch' for MoMoney. In a perpetual boom OR bust Alberta economy tied to energy resources, this reality/stereotype is a factor... but how much of a factor particularly in terms of options available for these "rougherNecks"... either in Alberta or more pointed to your presumed corollary, outside of Canada?
So look it all up, post it and let us know.
let the waldo also counter your other statements with actual StatsCan data: showing, per province, the unemployment rate for males (between your linked article's same highlighted age range) ages 15-24... for the last 5 months of 2019
I trust you note the Alberta September 2019 figure that was actually higher than the November rate... and the significant high rates for a couple of other provinces. Perhaps I missed the Premiers of NB & NFLD making justVisitingJason like demands of the federal government... acting the 'hat-in-hand' beggarman with their traveling entourages confronting PM Trudeau in Ottawa - ya, thats right... I must have missed that! So Alberta takes a couple of monthly hits in unemployment for 15-24 year old males and you jump on the justVisitingJason exaggeration/hyperbolic train? Really? Oh my!
Oh my! indeed.
I seldom respond to your posts, waldo, because of your overuse of insults, meandering thoughts and voluminous posts.
My 2 brief posts addressed the only point I wanted to convey. If you want to dispute my point in a broader context, DO the research.
