The lead paragraphs I sent from the statscan Daily in my last message
profoundly understate the unfavourable comparison. Canada lost 268,000
full-time jobs between 1989 and 1997 for a 2.5% decline. During the same
period the U.S. gained 8.5 million full-time jobs, a 10% increase. The
magnitude of this discrepency is covered up by the growth of "self-
employment", most of it involuntary.
Anybody wanna buy a pencil? apples? chiclets?
