Future of Work
A curated resource of recent research on trends shaping Canada's labor market.
Using the Labour Force Survey, this paper looks at employment differences for immigrants and Canadians between the ages of 20 and 64 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The authors associate these results with shorter job tenure and over-representation in lower-wage jobs for immigrants.
