No jobs for the tens of thousands Jason Kenney imported to Canada ....

during his tenure as the Minister of Citizenship & Immigration.  Now that he is the Minister of Employment and Social Development, let's see how he goes about finding employment for not only the new immigrants who arrived here  during the esteemed minister's reign at the helm of  the previous dept,  but also let's see how he goes about finding employment for the Canadian citizens who find themselves unemployed because of the oversupply in manpower.  The Prime Minister chose wisely when he moved Kenney from the Immigration Ministry to the Employment one.   If you know how to bring them in, you should also know how to get them to work.

Yes, Minister !   Moi, also waiting to see how Kenney does a "social development" number on the allahu akbars.   That will be a circus worth watching.

I have highlighted some of the sentences that need to be taken into account when the Conservatives  try to feed us make believe employment numbers.  Bottom line...our economy is not doing as well as they would want us to believe.  Reason being we have taken on more than we can chew  viz  immigrants and refugees.  In 2011, Canada gave refuge to 16% of the world's refugees.  Are the refugees going to farmland areas where there are reportedly jobs in plenty or are they being housed in cities where the scarcity of jobs is at its worst?

Julian Beltrame, TheCanadianPress at YahooNews:
 .... Canada's labour market continued to exhibit signs of weakness   last month as the economy shed a surprisingly high 39,400 net jobs nationally, with public sector workers and youth taking on the biggest share of the losses.

Regionally, six provinces sustained a net drop in employment, with the biggest in Quebec where 30,400 jobs were lost. Alberta had the largest gain with an increase of 16,600 jobs.....

Economists had expected a modest pick-up of 10,000 jobs in July, but the Conference Board's help-wanted index released last week proved more prescient in pointing to a setback.

Statistics Canada said with the latest result, employment growth has averaged a meagre 11,000 a month during the first half of 2013, far less than the 27,000 average gain realized during the second half of 2012.

Analysts say the economy needs to create between 15,000 and 20,000 new jobs each month just to keep up with population growth.

The tally for the past year is more impressive with 226,000 new jobs created, but the government agency noted that part-time work rose at twice the speed of full-time.

The Bank of Canada, and the vast majority of economists, have anticipated slow economic growth during the second quarter of this year, which ended in June, with the economy expected to kick into a higher gear in the third quarter. July's jobs report suggests the rebound may be a little longer off, however.

If there was good news in the report it's that the losses were disproportionately bunched in the public service, which shed a whopping 74,000 workers in July, with big declines in health care, social assistance and in public administration.

Private employers actually added 31,400 jobs during the month.

Young Canadians also bore the biggest burden of the losses, as workers in the 15-24 age group saw their numbers diminish by 45,600. The agency said among returning students aged 20-24 years, the employment rate was 69.7 per cent in July, a similar level to last year. The 16.8 per cent unemployment rate was also similar to what was observed in July 2012...........
