Police States have a hard time in globally competitive economies. Thank the Lord for Manchin pushing to subsidize the Canadian EV market with U.S taxpayer funds.

Ontario will proudly siphon jobs from West Virginia and other states thanks to this new Bill. Just in time based on the bad news we received today!


Canada's economy lost 30,600 jobs in July, Statistics Canada said Friday.

It's the second month in a row of lost jobs, coming on the heels of 43,000 jobs lost in June. Economists had been expecting the economy to eke out a slight gain of about 15,000 jobs, but instead the employment pool shrank.

Goods producing industries actually added about 23,000 jobs during the month, but that relative strength was more than offset by a large loss of 53,000 jobs in the service sector.

The health-care sector was a major drag, as it lost 22,000 positions. After more than two years of caring for Canadians during a pandemic, burnout and job churn in the sector is becoming a major issue. More than 10 per cent of all nurses called in sick at least once during the month, and more than 20 per cent worked paid overtime to make up for it, the data agency said.

Nursing vacancies in early 2022 were more than triple the level of five years earlier, Statistics Canada said.
 
Oh I think that burn out thing is just getting going in the US so not surprised it is happening in canada. My sister has about had it. After two years of often 70 hour weeks, ungrateful management, and a constant stream of gonna be here a few weeks straight off the street corner newby coworkers, she is desperately looking for somewhere that pays even remotely close to what she makes to flee to.
