Unemployment Rates: Labour Market

Unemployment Rate Dept: The study, released Tuesday by Community Foundations of Canada, found that in 2009 university-educated immigrants who had been in Canada fewer than five years had an unemployment rate of 13.9 per cent, compared with 3.4 per cent for their Canadian-born counterparts, according to CBC. "It is disheartening to see such a significant gap between well-educated newcomers. Their experience in our labour market is dramatically different than that of non-immigrants with a comparable education level," said Monica Patten, CFC's president and CEO and recent immigrants to Canada with a university education are more than four times more likely to be unemployed than Canadian-born workers with a university degree, a new study suggests. It also found that unemployment rates were much closer for recent immigrants without a degree, diploma or certificate and Canadian-born workers with the same education 19.5 per cent versus 15.9 per cent. As reported in the news.
