I feel for that single income, no spouse individual who is doing everything possible to find a job and right as they may be close, they could lose it to someone who didn't need the job but because they can take their kid to daycare for $25, they entered the workforce.

As Ozy pointed out, there are plenty of jobs out there, especially for low skilled or lesser experienced workers.
The job losses in the OG sector are a huge portion of the overall job losses and the resulting unemployment. There is plenty of work out there, should people want it, in many many industries in Calgary.
My friend’s brother worked in OG, spent a year unemployed waiting to get back into it. Gave up, and found a job outside that industry within 6 weeks. Thinking everyone is just going to be entering the OG industry where professionals outweigh positions is flat out wrong.
