Future of work
A curated resource of recent research on trends shaping Canada's labour market.
Using CPS (Current Population Survey) microdata, the authors of this paper looked for differences in the COVID-19 labour market shock for immigrant males versus US-born males. They found that pandemic-related job losses reversed which group was more likely to be employed. Historically, immigrant males were more likely than US-born males to be employed. Overall, immigrant men have now become relatively more likely to lose a job and relatively less likely to find a job compared to US-born males.
