Don Drummond

Don Drummond Dept: OTTAWA - It's been almost five years since economist Don Drummond was asked by concerned federal and provincial labour ministers to find solutions to the mismatched job market that has increasingly worried employers, governments and workers alike, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Now, this week's federal budget will make that very same issue deemed "critical" in 2008 its centrepiece and Economist Don Drummond is shown at a news conference in Toronto on Wednesday February 15 2012. In an interview, Drummond said he still believes that many of the country's mismatch problems could be solved by going back to his original proposals from the task force created in 2008. Back then, he and his task force recommended that provincial and federal governments build a detailed, public and searchable database that would enable anyone in the country to access relevant labour market information from across the country.
