Some dude on my LinkedIn is claiming that a 0.05% drop in productivity in Alberta equates to a range of cost for AB at $30-50mm per day in economic output. I have no idea how he’s coming up with that haha but kind of interesting and just generally true that the gov should factor in the opportunity cost of lost economic output by forcing all businesses that have people to adjust to this reality by figuring out child care (work from home, cost, etc.).
He also makes a claim that he believes the demand from teachers to be met by the gov only requires an additional $200mm.
Not sure if any of that is true, don’t have time to go research it all.
