Unemployment Rates: Federal Government

federal government: But amid all the promotion, it's no sure thing the program will be implemented across Canada the way the federal government would like, according to CBC. The government says that Canada has enjoyed comparatively low unemployment rates, but skills shortages remain and The Conservative government began roundtable discussions for one of its budget centrepieces Tuesday, with television ads already running in prime time to extol the Canada Job Grant's advantages for unemployed workers. The retraining grants were one of the few new measures in Finance Minister Jim Flaherty's March budget . The program would provide up to $15,000 per worker toward skills training to find a new or better job, but the federal contribution will only be $5,000, with the worker's province and employer contributing the rest.
