Bullwinkle Harper

We've done a great job of making it look like we create great jobs

THE TRUTH:

• There are 236,200 more people who are unemployed than there were before Harper took power in 2006 (Ottawa Citizen)
•  
• For the first time in years the unemployment rate is now higher in Canada than it is in the US. (Huffington Post)
•  
• The unemployment rate for young people is nearly double the national average. (CTV)
•  
• If Canada’s employment rate bounced back to its pre-recession peak, there would 665,000 more Canadians working today than there actually are. (PressProgress)
•  
• Less than a tenth of the damage done to the employment rate in the recession has been repaired. (Jim Stanford, Economist @ Unifor)
