Despite this recovery, the unemployment rate remains elevated (4.7%) compared to the same period last year due in large part to the growth in the labour force this quarter (+7,800), following a slight decrease last quarter.

Bridging the Gap between the Classroom and the Workplace
With Essential SkillsNINE ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR THE WORKPLACE:The Government of Canada and other national and international agencies have identified and validated nine key essential skills for the workplace.
Essential Skills: Fast FactsLiteracy and essential skills are the foundation for all learning, and involve, not only reading, but also interpreting information in all forms. Today’s careers increasingly require employees to have strong literacy, numeracy as well as other essential skills, but almost half of Canadians are ill equipped to be their best at their jobs: A survey conducted by Ipsos Reid on behalf of ABC Life Literacy Canada, reveals that three in four
(74%) of Canadian employers consider essential skills as “strategically relevant to their business”. A 2013 survey by the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) revealed
that 2 out of every 5 employed Canadians fall below a high school level for literacy and numeracy skills.
According to the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, without dramatic changes in skills development policies, almost 550,000 Canadian workers will not have the skills needed to fill available jobs in 2016, growing to 1.1 million in 2021.
