Ah the shortsightedness that occurs during boom times, especially in this province.
The fact that unskilled retail and shop jobs, like gas pumping and fast food are starting at $10-15 an hour is unsustainable. It may take a couple years but a lot of people may in trouble when the economy makes its inevitable down-turn.
The fact that there are labour shortages in a booming economy is a sure sign of an over-heating economy.
