Greater Halifax Partnership: Labour Force

labour force: A report showing that workers over the age of 45 accounted for most of the recent growth in the labour force in the Halifax area is bad news for young adults, says a students organization, according to The Chronicle Herald. When the 45-plus age group has absorbed all recent employment growth, our youth employment challenge has reached crisis proportions, Jonathan Williams, executive director of StudentsNS, said in a release and The Greater Halifax Partnership released a report last week that showed workers over 45 made up 97 per cent of labour-force growth between 2006 and 2012.
