Re: Don't it?

I'm curious what the cheapest possible cellphone plan could be. Something with only 2g calling, no sms and obviously no data.

Re: Don't it?

you live in ontario, perhaps you missed the tidbit that said in my end of canada.

that is hardly the situation here. there are tons of retail jobs hiring in moncton. new brunswick has the highest aging population in the country due to most people moving out west for higher paying jobs. there are very few jobs that aren't minimum wage and all those positions are still filled by older people who can't afford to retire so they keep working. soon there will be a gigantic lack of skilled trade workers (my work is currently heavily understaffed, if you want a job washing dishes for 18$/h holler) since our province can't offer competitive salaries like alberta can in other sectors such as food service and other low skill jobs. literally (I am not exaggerating) 70% of convenience stores here are owned by South Koreans who were given money by the Canadian government to come here and run a business. Nobody wanted to work these jobs so they found people to do them. NB is a shithole though so it's no surprise nobody wants to live here hue. There is nothing keeping skilled workers here since most jobs are held by the majority age group that should be retiring soon. people my age here are few and far in between and in the next 10 years there will most certainly be a shortage of workers.

I think this is the big problem across the board really...the skills gap is massive in today's workplace and it's really just simple numbers. More kids are going to college/university (numerator) while there are a lower total number of kids (denominator) compared to a few decades ago. The number of students being trained for professions compared to those mastering a trade is abnormally high and it's creating a skills deficit where employers literally can't give out entry-level jobs to the university graduates because they have no experience in the field; meanwhile they're hurting for a person with the proper skills for the job so out of 100 applicants, they'll hire the one with the work experience over the 99 with education. It makes the value of a general degree very low at least when it comes to getting your foot in the door to build a career. However once you do get in, you can expect to have a higher pay ceiling due to the fact that you're educated.
