If you want to get accurate employment numbers, the payroll companies can give you that, ADP in particular has a historical report from month to month.
Note the non-farm payroll numbers from 2020M03 (16868963) to 2020M11 (7590529).
There were 16.9 million people employed (under ADP payroll) in this country back in march, vs only 7.59 million people today which is about a 55% drop.
tldr: shits fucked
This is 100% fucked and nobody is talking about. When will the average Canadian stop walking around with his head jammed up his ass and see that the economy is now entirely hanging by a thread and the government has plunged own fucking grandchildren into a pit of debt for a virus that has a 99.99% survival rate!
Everyone is looking at stats Canada numbers, but they don’t think you’re unemployed if you’ve stopped looking!
Stat Canada also reports the number of people who are able to work but don't look for work.
We were already in insurmountable debt territory before the CCP virus.
