Yeah, but how will you go around bragging about the job market if you actually have to admit that public sector job growth is higher than the private sector the last few years, and that our economy is built on a pile of bricks that is soon going to fall.
I know its the Fraeser Institute and the Liberal lovers can't stand what they say, but this is ridiculous.

The government sector has accounted for the majority of new jobs since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.
The public sector was responsible for 86.7 per cent of all new jobs created since early 2020, the report, Comparing Government and Private Sector Job Growth in the COVID-19 Era, found. Net jobs in the sector increased by 366,800, or 9.4 per cent, between February 2020 and July 2022.
In stark contrast, there was hardly any new job creation in the private sector, including self-employment, with net jobs increasing by just 56,100, or 0.4 per cent, during the same period.
“The government sector, not the private sector, is driving job creation in Canada since the onset of the COVID pandemic and recession,” Ben Eisen, senior fellow at the Fraser Institute and co-author of the report, said in a press release.

As expected. Though I can't wait to see opendoor spin some ridiculous tales about this. Maybe even Photon will get involved.
