"Main labor trends in Canada are low turnover, rising long-term unemployment and persistently high youth unemployment."
"Current conditions point to mild excess supply in Canadian labor market, which is less dynamic than it was before."
"If we stimulate demand when issue is more structural, we could create inflationary prssures while delaying necessary restructuring."
"We are exploring more granular data to better understand what's happening in job."
