50% of Canadian workers have gone nowhere for 25 years - Web posted by NUPGE
The report says median wages have fallen most among younger workers, immigrants and men, and have risen a bit among women and older workers.
'Erosion of real wages for the bottom half of the work force has been accompanied by a sharp decline in the security of employment. Especially among young workers, women and immigrant workers of colour, there has been a marked increase in temporary employment and usually very low-paid 'solo' self-employment. Many lower-wage workers experience significant periods of unemployment or under-employment over a year, and have been virtually excluded from unemployment benefits under new, more restrictive rules.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:50 AM :: reference link ::
