Students: Avery Shenfeld

Avery Shenfeld: The job market hasnt been strong enough to generate high quality work for older people, CIBCs chief economist Avery Shenfeld wrote in the report, released Thursday. He said its among the reasons the jobless rate has climbed beyond 20 per cent for students 15 to 18 looking for part-time work, according to The Star. Karen Dorn, now 55, said a retail job was all she could find after countless interviews during an eight-month job search in 2010. I didnt really want to but I had bills to pay, she said and Older Canadians struggling to find work are being forced to take jobs traditionally reserved for students, pushing those younger people out of employment, according to a new CIBC World Markets report. The lack of higher paying work has forced parents into taking the kind of employment previously reserved for teenage students, Shenfeld said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
